With what corals you have I would test and add calcium and iodine. Other then that you will add supplements back to your tank when you do your weekly water changes. Your polyps will eat the same food you are feeding your fish, use a turkey baster to squirt food into them.

I have about 20 colonies of SPS, 10 LPS (frogspawn, torch, brain, wellsy etc)
4 leather corals and 2 xenia colonies and all I put into my tank is calcium and Iodine. (this is in my reef)
