Adding more chemicals? Trace and etc.
I was at Petco and in the Marine section there's bunch of chemicals to add to the tank. Trace, Iron, Calcium, etc.
For my Fish Only Tank with LR, do I really need all of that? I read the bottle, and it seems to convice me that I may need it, like Trace. I don't test for all of that. My tank is fine (meaning fish is alive), so should I just leave it alone? P.S. What about those bottle of "Beneficial bacteria?"

You don’t need or want any of it. For a reef all you actually need is calcium.

all you would need is regular water-changes. your FO tank really isnt going to consume much of the trace elements, i.e. Iron,...

For your purposes, all that is needed is regular water changes (calcium also, if you want).
