Biowheels, as all other filters, do NOT remove nitrate.  They all convert 
ammonia TO nitrate.

I have an Aquarium Pharm. Dry-Tab nitrate kit, and it's useless for the low 
levels of nitrate that we are shooting for.  I think Chuck Gadd uses a Red 
Sea nitrate kit and he's happy with it.

>2) a source for supplemental nitrate (does Seachem flourish provide this?)

Seachem Flourish does not contain nitrate.
