I was looking and i thought iron was a trace element? Looking at his dosing he has traces seperate with iron so what are traces then?

Here is what i dose for my 125 gal tank does this look like a good start.

1.5t of nitrates kno3 3x week
1.5t of mono potassium phosphate kh2p04 3x week
.5t of plantex csm+b plus iron 3x week

Is their something i need to add take away or does this look good? Also i quit dosing the iron right now because im having a bba outbreak so im dosing flourish excel right now to get rid of if 25ml everday.
