First and foremost you have to figure out what is going on. You have given no pertinent information and instructing you in any direction would be reckless. Provide this info;
How old is the tank? Are you sure the test results are accurate? Have you backed up your findings with a LFS? What is in the tank?
The answers to those questions will help in resolving the Nitrate if it is indeed that high (which I doubt). If the Nitrate is truly that high, doing small changes will hardly accomplish what you want. In a true emergency, such as Nitrate being truly that high, you should do a 50% water change and 2 days later do another 50% change. As you can see, this is an emergency situation to save the tank. I would do nothing that drastic until I knew for sure the Nitrate results are accurate.
