Nanosilver ceramic for aquarium

I am new to this forum and need some advice. I hope I don't end up posting in the wrong forum.

Has there been any aquarist who has used silver nano to kill bacteria in a reef tank? I am hoping to find an aquarist who can perform experiments and better still, knows a bit about chemistry (nitrogen cycle). I did this experiment at home by leaving Nanosilver chemically bonded ceramic in a small freshwater tank. The PH level has risen to 7.4, the Ammonia is lower and the Nitrite is lower relative to a tank without the ceramic. We know that silver nano kills bacteria but in a tank, it will not be able to kill all so the nitrogen cycle still can takes place. I am wondering if it can be applied to saltwater aquarium?

The said ceramic has been able to prolong cut flowers in vases (removing microbial pathogens) and now I am testing it in aquariums. Chemically bonded nano silver means zero leakage of silver particles to fishes, so no harm is done to the fishes and the water supply unlike nano silver colloidal solution or chemically coated ceramic. And I don't pretend to know what the esteemed members here have learned over the years so I really need help and advice. I am a venture capitalist and I am excited about the possibilities of reducing microbes in this field but I am not a scientist nor a hobbyist, hence this posting.

1. Will Nanosilver killing microbes affect the nitrogen cycle?

2. Can it work in salt water as well as fresh water?

3. Is it true that good bacteria stays in the filter and the bad bacteria resides on the "seabed" substrate?

This is unrelated but I am thinking seriously of setting up a nanotube for my office. One of my bucket list in life.

Thanks for listening and please advice.
