I'm surprised no one else pointed this out but did you ever think it could be due to not doing a water change? A water change does a lot more than reduce nitrates, in fact if your going from a 3 to 0 ppm nitrate reading after a water change your apparently doing a 100% water change............this is the only way your nitrates could go from 2-3 to 0 with a water change. Have you read how much "stuff" is in your salt mix? All of those "elements" or "minerals" were more than likely feeding your dianoflagellates, not your lack of nitrates. I think what caused the dianoflagellates to die was they ran out of what they were feeding on, which was the "minerals" in your salt.
