I have a 25 gallon cube in my office at work. It is a Mr. Aqua tank (18" all around) and I have an AI Nano light and MP10 for flow. It has been in operation since April of this year. I had been slow about adding fish and coral the first few months, but as time passed started to dabble a little more. I added a few small acro frags in mid June to the tank. After a few weeks of adjustment period, they all seemed to start growing well and really coloring up. And then out of no where, one started RTN'ing followed by another. I love the look of the acros and would like to keep them, but I think I am struggling with keeping all my parameters where they need to be (especially alkalinity). Any suggestions on how to get this under control? I do 20% water changes every other week. Thanks in advance.
Best chance for stability?

A dosing pump works great in a nano, and good test kits are an absolute must. Acros are also going to need a lot of light and a lot of current, but looks like you have both.
For RTN, my only experience in years of keeping acros and SPS with RTN is when bugs are involved. Make sure you check for AEFW and redbugs, and make sure you are dipping all new additions at a minimum (QT tank is best).
