I have a ~39gal AIO tank, Aquanano 80. Its not far off its second birthday. I keep param stable.
Sal - 1.025
KH - 8.2
Cal - 410
Nitrate - 10
Phos - .1
My problem is I cannot keep stony coral LPS or SPS. The lps slowly recede (sometimes over months) and bailout while still looking healthy. This has happened duncans, torch, hammer, candy cane. Th only LPS lasting is a single blasto head. However in nearly a year i hasn't grown any new heads.
My softies are big and healthy. However my shrooms are big and moving but don't split. Coraline grows well too.
I run a read sea 90 at 45% blue 30% white. Tank dims 80*40*45cm deep.
Is this this tank only capable of softies or am I am missing something.
I would have thought easy lps would be possible. I'm not chsing acro's.
This is the filtration setup

The sponges have been removed with live rock added in there. the cartiridges have been replaced with carbon and phosphate remover media bags.
