Hi Mathew , so long as your parameters are all good , you should be ok !
You will only need to start dosing alk or calk if uptake is more than what your water change will replenish ..

if you stick to soft corals I think you'd be fine with no dosing and just water changes every two weeks. You might want to manually dose a 5ml cap full of reef fuel or similar coral food now again. It is not required, but you'll get increased coral growth - if your filtration can handle it.
