with a 8 g tank there isnt any reason to have Nitrates. if you have a 5 gal empty pail of salt. do a water change with that 5 gal will really take the nitrates away doing small water changes will not take care of the Nitrates.
I would doing like 75% and then check your nitrates in 1 day to see if you are having it rise again. if it is then start looking at what you have in there for live stock and how much you are feeding.
