Biowheels don't remove nitrate.   They create Nitrate from the Ammonia and
nitrite.

I'm using the Red Sea nitrate test.  Works ok.  Do NOT get the AP Dry-tab
nitrate test.  It can't measure low amounts.

No, flourish does not contain nitrate.  I'm using KNO3, Potassium Nitrate. 
I bought it in a hardware store, where it was sold as Greenlight Stump
Remover.  It's pure KNO3.  Many other stump removers are too, but the
only one I know is 100% KNO3 is Greenlight.
