Regular water changes alone might be all you need. Some salts are higher in calcium, magnesium, etc than others. You might want to give this a shot first before you start dosing. GL.

I use reef crystal salt for a lot of the elements...

I also use coral frenzy and reef chili + mysis for supplemental feeding

If you want to dose something be sure to buy the test kit for it. Iodine is a good supplement for soft corals but you need a test kit for it because overdosing it is not a good idea.

Cloak gave you good advice look up the salt you are using you can find every trace element and they're concentrations in the particular brand.

I agree with using Reef crystals salt mix and frequent small volume water changes
