From what I can see, everything looks good except your phosphates are pretty high. I don't see a nitrate reading but if there is little available nitrogen, bacteria cannot metabolize nitrate and phosphate. SPS also like a anywhere from 5-10 nitrate for proper coloration, unless you're running Zeovit or another method. Let's see what Dr. Holmes-Farley says.

Nitrate could be low (as mentioned above) and a trace element supplement might be useful. I see nothing that is too high and hurting corals.
