In order for the nitrate sponge to work nitrates have to already be low. I've tried these products, a waste of money. Water changes and a refugium are your best bet. You could look into a coil denitrator. Add more live rock. Don't waste your money on nitrate sponge.

They will work, but they tend to require a lot of media. This article goes into nitrate problems:

What is the nitrate level now, and what animals are in the tank?

I am testing PURA nitratelock myself right now... I'll be curious to see if the nitrate sponge works for you.
