WellI have experienced that checking ur nitrate right after a water change wasn't the answer I was looking for. It seems that when u stir everything up ur nitrates will read higher. I also don't add extra chemicals to my tank just after a water change as well. My corals don't react to well to the algae fix. Maybe u dosed to much, or shouldnt have added the purple up or algaefix especially with ur nitarte so high. If I understand what I have read about nitrate is if it gets to high it can burn ur fish n corals. I think it was a bad combination of everything all at once. And the shocking part probably didn't help at all. I thought u ment shocked by temp drop, but if I reread it right it was an electrical shock as we'll as eveything else that dominoed and didn't help.
