Should be fine.

Congrats! Sounds like pretty coral. Your lighting should be fine and they like med-strong flow.

Unless you're TESTING for it you don't Supplement/Dose for it. Your routine (weekly or so) water changes will replenish your trace elements. Keep your water quality up and your new corals will love you for it.
