+1 on pellets, but before you start adding anything take a sample of your water and get your lfs to test it for you. I would definitely make sure your test kits aren't expired. Also one thing I noticed, quality test kits are key to success. If the results are the same then let us know how your tank is stocked and your feeding regime in details so we can try to figure out what the problem lies.

When I had a 30g skimmer less lps/softy tank, I used to do 50% water changes a week. There was always some NO3 from feeding the lps, but usually only around 5ppm at water change time. It was vital to match temp and ph, if this was done there wasn't any problem caused by the large water change. May not be a long term solution, but it will cut down the NO3 fast, while you look for the cause.
