I have a question: Why did you dose Fluconazole? What is it for?I have a picture for you (ORA Red Planet) with data…values and (the ratio) I know you love. Pic’s are dated if you look closely:
My conclusion from your postings and your pics is, that nitrate dosing helps to regulate trace elements, most likely iron and maybe a few more. Nitrate works as an oxidant and usually is dosed under nitrogen sufficient conditions.
What you observe in corals and in the cleaner tank is not a direct nitrate effect but an indirect effect. The same goal may also be achieved in other ways but nitrate is maybe the most convenient and reliable way to achieve it.
