I have started doing Fauna Marin ICP tests and was wondering if what they are telling me to dose actually makes any sense to do. My SPS corals have not been super happy for a while but my phosphates skyrocketed and the polyps haven't been out, no die off but getting them under control with rowaphos. I dose 7ml of FM Multi Elements A+B + 2ml of CheatoGro since the first ICP test and some Iodine. I definitely overshot the Iodine...

First test 8/1

Outside from the obvious Ca, NO3, PO4, Alk, and Mg, the only other trace elements I dose is manganese and iron.

There's no evidence your inhabitants REQUIRES anything else to stay healthy.
