I have 3 frags and even though they look happy and no problems with them. I would like to know if these levels are fine
Salanity 1.023
PH - 7.8
Ammonia 0
nitrate - less than 10
nitrite 0
KH/alk - 10.9
Magnesium - 1440
Calcium - 450
60 g tank with protein skimmer
60 LBS. Live rock
Light is a AquaticLife edge LED 48"

all frags are looking good and appear happy.
 
Levels look good ;) Only thing I'd do, and it's not really a big deal, is up your salinity to 1.026.
 
the only thing I did notice is that the pulsing xenia is just a brown color. I started dosing with plankton to see if they change to the color there suppose to be which is blue. but other than that. they still look happy and no problems. I'm using seachem reef zooplankton to feed them.
 
The values seem good to me.

On the nitrate, there's a big difference in values of 0.001 and 3 ppm nitrate, so it's hard to judge the appropriateness of just (less than 10 ppm). :)

I too would raise the salinity a bit, but you may not notice a difference.
