Your parameters look good, but for SPS you really need a peristaltic doser or Ca reactor(I prefer the reactor). It's expensive up-front but worth it in the end. You're parameters can slowly shift w/ a doser or reactor but they can be very, very slowly brought back to normal.
I would cut your WC volume in half too. And corals have to eat too, i know--it's a fine balancing act between nutrients and nuisances.
