That sounds like adequate light. I'm assuming what you mean by 10000 are metal halide (MH). How old are your bulbs? The spectrum on these bulbs changes over time and could be the reason why your soft corals are surviving instead of growing. Moreover, soft corals don't require as intense lighting as the hard corals and may be stunting them as well. Some hard core reefers will change their bulbs every 6-9 months, but it's probably not that important, at that frequency, with soft corals. At any rate , if your bulbs are greater than 1-1.5 years, you may want to consider changing them. Just remember to light acclimate the tank with new bulbs.
I would recommend experimenting with the MHs:actinics (ie, increase the duration of actinic lighting and decrease the duration of MH lighting).
You don't need the iodine test kit unless you are dosing iodine which is controversial and probably not necessary with frequent WCs.
With respect to magnesium (Mg). It will be easier to keep your calcium (Ca) stable for a longer period of time by keeping your Mg between 1280-1350 ppm.
