I've been doing endless massive water changes as often as possible would
like to know exactly what the readings are nonetheless. I ordered the
Flourish products. The should be here in less than a week.

Then I'd suspect you have a sewage bed in your gravel that is continuosly
leeching stuff into the water. There's absolutly no way fish can make
nitrates spike that high quickly by themselves.
