Your levels look fine. Are you having issues that you're asking?

The nutrient/alk issue is that a few SPS species can get burnt tips if alk is high and nutrients are very low.

I would bump up both the phosphates and nitrates, otherwise slightly lower your ALK. I ran into a ton of issues keep my ALK in the 9-10 range with 0 nutrients.
