Hopefully this is the right area for a question like this. If not, let me know.

So my question probably doesn't have a right or wrong answer, but trying to get an idea of what to add to the tank and when.

My setup is a RSM 250 with about 75lb live rock, RBTA, two feather dusters, some inverts, some reef safe fish, birds nest coral, some zoos, green striped mushrooms, two maxi anenomes, hammer coral, and another i'm not sure the name of. (i can be more specific if needed.

I have been using the seachem reef salt and doing bi weekly water changes. Now my question is what should i be added and how often to the tank. As i'm sure most will agree this can be complicated and each company suggests different things.

I currently have/use the following:
-kent strontium - 2 times a week
-essential elements - every 2 weeks
-microvert - one a week target feeding the feather dusters
-coral vite - haven't been using this yet
-calcium - haven't needed this yet either
-coral accel - haven't used this either
-purple tech - haven't used as my calcium is pretty high

i'm looking to get some phyto plankton to add as i hear this helps a bit with the corals.

Any suggestions on what i'm currently using or what i should be using would be appreciated. Just not really sure regarding the voral vite, coral accel, etc.
