Reducing nitrates and ca/mg info

Hi all,

My tank is very stable in all areas except nitrates which are currently at about 50 ppm. I've been doing weekly 10% water changes for the last few weeks and I still can't seem to bring the numbers down.

Here are the rest of my stats:
PH = 8.2
Ammonia = 0
Nitrites = 0
Alk = low
Calcium = 850 ppm
Magnesium = 2000 ppm

So, I have two questions:

1. Is there a reliable product on the market that would expedite the reduction of nitrates to a reasonable level?

2. I know that your corals need a good level of Ca and MG but is there such a a thing as too high levels?

Thanks for your help.

Steve
