I'd add a calcium supplement - there are a couple of choices:
1. Kalkwasser drip when you replace evaporation water.
2. Two part balanced solutions - there are many options.
3. You can supplement calcium only, but it may lead to ionic imbalance in the long term (I don't advise adding calcium alone unless it is in the form of Kalkwasser.)

Other than calcium, it looks good.

P.S. A lot of people on here only supplement calcium in addition to regular water changes.

I agree, looks good! You can research the addition (drip) of kalkwasser by doing a search here. It is the most balanced and cheapest approach, however can be risky is not dosed correctly and it does take some labor to prepare. Other options are the 2-part supplements like B-Ionic or Ocean Blend (my preferred brand) and although these are much easier to administer, they are costly in the long run. The last option, a costly one but by far the easiest and most stable in the long run, a calcium reactor.

And you "p", should be Phosphate and 0 is the only way to go.
