Nothing died. Elegance and gorg's death were imminent (irrelevant with the nitrate). The rainbow paly didn't open since I got it like few days back and today I noticed infection so took it out.
Things are thriving but I noticed my acans are a bit shrunk (best indicator for nitrate) and montis are a bit white. Nitrate!
I don't think dead spot is of any issue since I have fairly low "rock blocked" places in the tank. The chaeto always sucked up nitrate real good (GSP, xenia, mushroom) don't grow but thrive in my tank. Last few days, I noticed my mushrooms doing great (duh!). I even checked whether the chaeto is dying and its all green and grew significantly since the last trim. In the last few days, I fed my tank HEAVILY! And my heavily, I mean 3 full meals for the fishes (flakes + cylop + something else like brine or mysis) and fed my corals heavily (mix of snow + cylop + brine + mysis). That's my story.
I am guessing the food is the real criminal over here.
