I'd just do a 100% water change...then wait a bit and see if the nitrate rises...it may not and you're all good...if it does rise then you need to re-think your maint/set-up.

Janey,
If the test is indeed 100, you need to do a major water change before proceeding. Sorry to slow you down at this point, but you need to make sure the tank isn't producing that normally or everything you put in there will die.
Let's see your specs again.
How much live rock? Live sand?
Skimmer?

There is a normal nitrate level after a cycle, I don't think 100 is within the realm of normal unless the rock was sitting on a loading dock without water for a week or so.
