What to dose in a softie dominated reef tank with minimal water changes?

[fishski13]

I have a softie dominated tank that I have not done a water change on in a couple months. Since I am not doing these water changes, I am not replenishing any of the elements that salt normally adds to water. I am not worried about alk or calcium and I do not need the water changes to reduce nitrate or phosphate. I was reading that iodine dosing may help with softies. Is there anything else I should dose like minor elements that could replenish anything that soft coral could benefit from?

I'd still test/dose alkalinity as needed. Iodine, strontium and other trace elements are what i dose (no water changes).

Don't dose anything you're not testing for.
