Skimmer on a small tank

Would adding a Tunze skimmer (the nano version) on my 29g tank end up skimming all the good stuff out of my water? (i.e. calcium, mg, etc)

On the other hand, would it help with phosphates and nitrates?

I don't have too many corals, but would/should I start dosing Part A/B, magnesium, etc if I add the skimmer? (providing I test for those first/regularly of course)

I purchased the skimmer months ago and haven't put it into use on my tank yet, so just trying to get some input from the pros.

Thanks.

I have that skimmer I do not think you will have any problems with it skimming too much. I think with regular water changes you should be fine without adding any calicum mg etc
