Bummer, I was hoping the pellets would have made a dent by now. Is it possible the nitrates are bound in the rock and substrate? In which case it will take longer .. but they'll get pulled down sooner or later. How much pellets are you running at the moment? Maybe try upping them a little.
They'll come down sooner or later! Have a good trip!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 Back from a great trip in Mexico! Feeling somewhat relaxed (but not likin the snow here )! Trip was fantastic! Kids loved every second, great weather, lots of sun and even a little snorkellin! Came back to a tank in good order. One loss...my fairy wrasse. Not sure what happened. She showed up one day lookin rough then never popped out again. She was looking fairly pale when I did a WC right before I left so I wasn't too surprised. AND good news!!! My nitrates are coming down........tested last night at 20! Whohooooo!  And to reply Tony...I think the Nitrates must be leaching from the rocks...that's the only thing that really makes sense (as Doug suggested). So sooner or later I suppose it will settle down. Still have to figure out the electrical on the tank/house. Has to wait til next week so for now I have extension cords running everywhere.
