All I've added to mine is alk booster and reef-roids. I figure regular waterchanges pretty much takes care of the water chemistry, although I don't have an iodine kit.

I dose with aragaMILK from time to time. It's cheap, and in a nano, it'll last forever. I also spot-feed my corals Reef-roids every once in awhile, too.

Regular, large (like 50% or more a week) water changes. Every once in a while I dose some Phyto and maybe once a month some reef roids. Thats about it and I have great growth on all corals.
Also have a very low bioload in all my nano's - in fact the only one that has more than one fish is my 20g which has 2 percula clowns and a yellow goby. My other 20g has one tomato clown my 10g has a Mantis shrimp and my other 10g has a yasha hashi gobie and a pistol shrimp.
