New to Reef Chemistry

So I've had a tank for awhile and just recently got really serious about keep corals.. But I do not understand everything that really goes into it. I've been taking full parameters daily but I just don't really understand what all goes into it I guess. My ammonia is always 0, my nitrates go between 2-5ppm, my alkalinity is currently 10.7, calcium is 480, and magnesium is 1680. Are my corals even pulling things out of my tank?
