Some coral (toadstool, mushrooms, zoa) look great, others (acans, favia) not so much. Have my first sps (acro) frag in there too and it's looking pretty good so far as well.

Salinity: 1.026
Temp: 78
pH: 7.9
Alk: 9
Cal: 470
Mag: 1380
Nitrate: 5
Phos: 0.01

Dosing 7.4 ml of 2part daily plus 5 ml NOPOX ... 120g tank w 100g sump. Assumed 150g total volume
 
These parameters look pretty normal. Why are you dosing organic carbon though?
Nitrate was higher previously and had a nasty hair algae problem. Dosed at a slightly higher level for a few weeks and took care of that issue so halved the dose for maintenance and it's keeping Nitrate and Phos rock solid at those levels with no algae growth and semi heavy feeding of Larry Reef Frenzy
