There are a few things you need to know about nems.

First, they require pristine water conditions and very high lighting. They are also extremely sensitive to changes in parameters, and any amount of nitrates are toxic to them. Also when they die, they can kill everything else in the tank from the toxins they release. So they should only be kept in mature tanks over a year old.

Also, i would not dose anything. Just do your regular water changes and that will be enough for them.

Feeding them mysid or silver sides once or twice a week is a good idea too

I would stay away from feeding them silversides. It's not been scientifically proven but, there is a lot of evidence out there of silversides causing spontaneous deaths in anemones. I just let my anemone get whatever food floats to it when I feed my fish.
