The only things that I would be adding (( and only if test kits show that you need too )) would be Cal, Alk and Mag. If you are using a two part for Cal and Alk should be dosed separately.

well i suppose they need to sell chemicals to make money and survive in business, theres no doubt that dosing certain chemicals is good practice, however things like iodine really bug me, its tiny in NSW amounts, and even though essential i doubt a 6 month old tank would need to dose iodine, i mean do you test for it for a start, im pretty sure a normal tank wouldnt need to dose this, water changes would do it, also why stron, what salt are you using?
