Yup, I agree do two consecutive 20% water changes a week for the next month or until nitrates are in check, reduce the amount of food if it's crazy amounts, and I would also suggest getting yourself a phosban reactor and use some bio-pellets. I had very high nitrates then I put a bio pellet reactor on with the CORRECT sized pump for bio pellets and they went from 50-5ppm over 2 months. I now never have nitrates over 2ppm. Good luck.
