Have you tested for phosphates? When is the last time you changed the filters on your RO unit? Could anything like a penny be dropped into the tank by a child?

Have you always kept your dKH at that level?
Have you always had LEDs, or are they newly added?
Test magnesium and phosphate
All the corals you're listing really don't need extremely high lighting, and I've seen LEDs harm most of the corals you're picturing from cooking them with too much light. You may need to turn down your LEDs.
