Doing the daily water changes will take care of the problem now, but will not solve it IMO. I'd definitely start them to lower the nitrItes. Doing 50% water changes weekly after that and feeding once a day or once every other day will help.
You should really consider upgrading the setup though.

Well, that was the next step I was considering....at one time I had a 150 gal Saltwater which I loved, but going much larger at this point isn't in the budget. Agreed on the fish, they do produce allot of waste.
