It will help the corals.
What happens is the tanks chemistry changes over time and elements important to corals get exausted. A water change helps replenish these elements and removes waste from the tank.

I put a couple new threads in the pictures forum recently.
Everyone does water changes differently, like; weekly, every two weeks, monthly, ect. Every tank is different, every hobbiest is different. You'll have to find out what works for you (time and effort wise) and what works for your tank (health of corals and fish) That's it. Christy is right; do larger and more frequent water changes now, to get your tanks corals back healthy, and after that - figure out what water change schedule works for you.

Usually when you do a water change those minerals are replaced when you add the salt. Only when your tank is stocked full of corals etc will you need to add anything depending on your readings. For now, just keep with regular water changes.
