test the water that you are actually putting into the tank, make sure that you arnt "adding" the nitrates from the get-go. But you should be able to get some type of filter pad to suck nitrates out of the water, but they will only come back and you will be set back 15 bucks for the pad.

There's also something called AZ-NO3 that you can buy at marine depot (I have never seen it at my LFSs). Its a coenzyme that will get rid of nitrate. Worked very well for me.
My local fish store has a big jar of little balls of nitrate reducer-- I have no idea what its called, but it claims to lower the level of nitrate in your tank in between water changes. It says you can prolong the time b/n changes b/c it helps to eliminate high levels of nitrate...and its reef and fish safe...the product looks like small balls of white powder...Sorry I can't remember the name, but if my LFS has it, I bet yours does too!
