How long has the tank been set up? What do you have it stocked with? What test are you using?
I have the liquid api kit and no matter what i've ever done i've never gotten a reading under 20-40 for nitrates.
Some of us just accept this.
To get the nitrate reading to drop you'd have to do a bigger water change than just 3 gallons though, that's only 10%.

it took me 5 water changes of 20% to go from 20ppm to 4-5ppm...it is a tough process
I would do a 10G WC...again what do you have in the tank as far as fish, inverts ect..?

I set it up about in January with 10 lbs of LR and 2nd batch of
LR 4 weeks ago with a cuc 2 sea anemone I know the tank is young
For them but I got them from TBS and I could not throw them away
They are doing ok though. 3 sponges too. I use a API test kit and I agree
They suck. I also have a skimmer on it as well

I would def get those nitrates down quickly...anemone's need high water quality and so do inverts
