If you choose to run without a controller another good tip is to run two smaller heaters that singley can't overheat your tank. Both would have to fail at the same time in order for a tank overheat.

You're on a long road to recovery at this point, when you cook a tank it has long term effects. A lot of the sponges and other live matter within the rock is likely dead again so you essentially have to re-cure all the rock. If your tank isn't well established you're better off starting from scratch.
I've been through this exact same scenario with other people before, it's not pretty.

I have an icecream bucket that I fill with water from my tank and freeze it. I just drop the big ice cube back in to my sump. Have had no ill effects and helps alot to bring the heat down. See no harm in using actual tank water. Only done this during hot summer days.

Reef surfer if the problem tank is a 17 gallon tank, don't even think of replacing the passer angel. Even online stores recommend a minimum 55 gallon tank. Your tank can only accommodate 2-3 very small fish.
