Could you put in some plants to lower nitrates? My tap water has high ammonia, plants seem to help.
You could use photos to consume it, they grow fast and work with almost any fish
A deep sand substrate of about 10 cm would work too by turning the nitrates into nitrogen gas in the anaerobic layer.
But if I was you I would embrace the free nitrates and make some nice heavily planted tanks.
