I'm new to the hobby and have a 5 month old saltwater 110g tank, with sump and sock filter. Currently in the tank, 44lbs live rock, 8 small Fish, 6 Inverts, 4 plants and 4 soft corals. The water tests over the past 2 months have stabilized and are consistently 1.026 salt, 8 PH, 0 Ammonia & Nitrite, 10 Nitrate, 420 Calcium, .25 Phosphate, 9 KH (API Test Kit). Do I need to raise or lower any of the test? and with what additives or reactors, etc.?

Phosphates should read .05, I'd recommend Hanna checker for this one, API is to vague.
Need a Magnesium test
The other tests you have look good.
