I am not too concerned with having 0 nitrates at the output i just want to reduce my nitrates and then further reduce it with water changes.

recommended to feed the anaerobic bacteria as you'll achieved more output at nitrate 0mg/l which will bring down your nitrate level.
imagine, if output still have traces of nitrate, how many times must tank water go through denitrator and how long does it take? your nitrate build up may just overwhelm the denitrator efficiency and you could be better off without the denitrator and just conduct more frequent wc to control nitrate level.
