A little off topic, but I think you should look for other reasons your fish died. A sudden change in Phosphates from even a a few tens of ppm to 0 ppm would not have had any effect on a fish. I'm not sure any change in phosphate at any range would affect a fish, unless the phosphates were near toxic levels to begin with (which for a fish would be very, very, very high).
