Good idea GDESQUIRE. I wanted to suggest earlier, but forgot to. It may be a lot of work and a PITA, but that sure would help. Algae may help consume the nitrates, but as some of it dies it just creates more nitrates in the process of decaying, so the high nitrates just keep perpetuating themselves. Even just pulling out and scrubbing several rocks on the top layers would help.
