Is it true if you have a larger amount of corals they will somewhat consume nitrates?

So I'm dosing 2 part to my 180. I have to dose about 200 ml of alkalinity and 140 ml calcium a day. My coralline is spreading and my monti cap is growing slow but the rest aren't. All my corals open and are happy . Do I need to wait for my corraline to stop taking all my calcium?

I switched to brs 2 part a week ago. I took my readings and used the calculator and got my levels right. By right I mean calcium at 420 Alkalinity at 9 and magnesium at 1420.

I like to keep nori in my tank for my ranges and fox face. And to feed my fish. Problem is if I keep nori daily and feed fish every 2 days I get algae and my nitrates jump to like 30 or 40. If I run a reactor will this help so I can feed and not have algae ? Also when I say algae it's not bad...

Do these little moonlights from Amazon help? What good are they compared to just lights out?

So last night at about 9 pm I noticed my yellow tang has about 3 dots on each fin and is scratching. He is eating like a horse though. My 2 clowns, 3 bengi cardinals, and fire fish look fine and are acting fine. My tang is also hanging with my cleaner shrimp. So should o quarantine just him or...
