I wouldn't over do it and change it to fast. Do the water change and then let it ride for the evening. Tommorrow night retest and if its still in the 650-700 range, do another water change. Keep this up till you get it back to the 450 range. Thats all I can think of. One of the more experienced reefers might have more to offer.

No offense, but that's why you don't dose without testing. But at least nothing was hurt.
