Sasha,
You need all you stated above for a reef tank, with out those chemicals your tank will deminsh over a period of time... Certain salt mix's have most of them in there so you can by Reef Crystals for exaple and do a 20% water change every 1 to 2 weeks and be ok... Depending on the amount of corals you add to your tank you will need more CALCIUM which is key for their growth and colors...
Thanks, Eddie
