HELP!! Nitrates 160

Can someone please tell me what to do? My nitrates are at 160. They are showing the dark red which is the highest on my chart. I can not even imagine why they are suddenly spiked like this. I did a water change about 3 weeks ago and changed out my filters. At that time my nitrates where at 20-40. Nothing has died in my tank....which is surprising to me with those levels. My other levels are Amonia 0, nitrite 0, ph 7.8 and salinity 1.022. The tank is 75gal fowlr. I have a 3" porc puffer, coral beauty, a dragon goby, and a orange diamond goby. The tank has been up and running for about 8 months. It has a cascade 700 canister filter, maxijet 1200, and a coralife super skimmer with 60lbs live rock and crushed coral bottom. I am not sure what else you may need to know to help me so please let me know if you need more info. Thanks
