I’d watch phosphate alongside it before chasing nitrates too hard. NeoNitro can help, but slow changes seem safer with that many frags in there.

First year of my tank I dosed NeoNitro until I was above 5ppm. Seemed to have help. $neonitro
I dose it and get a good reading then I stop. Then do my water testing and see my nitrates go down quick
I believe you’ll need to dose everyday or every other for a few months. Also could try dosing All For Reef. It boosts alk/cal/mag but more importantly has all the right trace elements. I also had success once I started using that
But do you think nitrates is the main cause though?
I’m guessing stability is the main issue. If you are swinging params up and down that is worse than having consistent bad parameters. Hard to know the exact issue. But since your nitrates are low. Doing water changes doesn’t really help you. So to replace elements AFR is a great solution. That is what worked for me.
It’s definitely stability, I was starting to doing weekly water changes but figured that didn’t help. So I think I just need to bring the nitrates up and find a sweet spot for water changes
