i feed my coral right now with Marine Snow and dose some Seachem Reef Iodide.
i dont dose cal/alk/mag bc the levels are fine with the little amounts of corals i have in my 75g
cal=460 alk=10
im plan on getting more Seachem Reef Iodide and try out Seachem Reef Strontium.

is the brand brightwell Aquatics better than seachem for additives like iodide and strontium

any help is welcome

i get different sea foods, octopus, clams, mussels, shrimp, and blend them together and feed that. plenty of different size foods for fish and coral alike to eat.

You don't have any corals there that have to be feed. Whatever your fish are eating should provide enough for them. Unless you are testing for what your are dosing, I would not suggest doing it. Most tanks, unless they are sps dominate, are just fine with regular water changes.

oooo cool, i thot my coral were lacking food

you shouldn't need to dose anything, but the assumption the coral do not need to be fed isn't correct. they do need organic foods, i don't know of a coral that doesn't enjoy it. not all energy comes from inorganic nutrients and light. you can clearly see on the corals they eat, hence the mouth. the larger the mouth the larger the food they can consume. food is good for the corals. you don't necessarily need to spot feed all of them all the time, but if your the type to only feed just a pinch of food for the fish then yeah i think you should be thinking about spot feeding your corals. everyday i broadcast feed (put a ton of food in the tank several times a day with disreguard of putting too many nutrients in my tank) and everyday i witness almost every single coral i have (with exception to mushrooms and some of the time zoa's) capturing food for themselves.

On alternating days I use Red Sea Reef Energy, Reef Chili, Seachem AquaVitro fuel and Area 51 Phytoplankton is used daily. Corals like us I'm sure do not like eating the same thing day after day.

that a nice variety of diff food for the coral, they must be happy

Most of those corals will grow to tank busting proportions with no special feeding at all. Being said. So far to this point, a mixture of BRS Reef chili and frozen Cyclopeeze (mixed together, cut the flow and VERY gently target feed, as in dust a fine cloud over each coral) fed 3x a week has yielded the most positive and visually obvious results of all the food I've tried

I am dosing abcd supplements and feed them fresh seafood

I wouldn't be adding any prepared coral specific foods. For starters fish provide a lot of urea, ammonia and phosphorus as well as carbonates. Additionally feeding corals specifically is problematic as there are contradicting species specifc requirements. What one coral likes can have negatiive effects on another.
