Nitrate does not accumulate in a pond at the same rate as in an aquarium. It is highly unusual to find Nitrate levels in a pond greater than 30 - 40 ppm. Aquaria are quite often much higher than this. Thus, a reduction of 30+ ppm is not going to cause a problem. I seriously doubt that the difference is more than 20 ppm, if that.
Incidentally, if you look around the web you will find scant evidence supporting the belief in Nitrate Shock.
