If it is not broke do not fix it

I do not think that iron will appreciably impact coralline algae, but it may help macroalgae and I add it for that reason.

I do not recommend that folks add iodine. I don't think it does anything useful in most reef aquaria.

There are lots of good ways to add calcium and alkalinity.

The only other thing that I add routinely is silica for sponges. Magnesium should be monitored and adjusted if necessary.
