Need help on quick high nitrates on my 45 gals tank

[joestone52]

My sea apple died and emitted a lot of toxic and nitrates . I have to eliminate the high nitrates on my 45 gal tank. Can I change about 5 gals of water everyday until the nitrates go down or is there any thing I could buy or use to eliminate the nitrate fast. More than half of my stock died already, I have to move quick. Thanks

The best way to do this is to do a 25% change. Then do another 25% change and then one more 25% water change back to back to back. This will decrease your nitrates quickly.
