No need to be dosing anything yet. Nutrients are fine, but would not want to add more.. If anything magnesium is a little low, but really should be fine with some water changes. Alk is fine.

Ok and what about feeding the coral is that a product to use to feed my corals

You can feed corals Reef Roids if you wish, but take it easy. It can really drive up your nitrate and phosphate levels if you overdo it.

If you have any fish in the tank, it's really not necessary to feed the corals specifically. They'll get by on fish waste and uneaten food. Plus most corals are photosynthetic and obtain nutrition from your lights. (Actually it's the zooxanthellae that live symbiotically within the coral, but that's more than you probably care to know right now.)

Those corals don't need to be fed. You can if you want but it's not required. Why are you showing ammonia and nitrite? Is the tank brand new?

2 months old I just did water chance like week and a half ago and got coral and fish yesterday and today I tested water and that’s what showed up so all I need to do is a water change u guys are saying

Never worry about the nitrite it is irrelevant. Ammonia sometimes shows small little bumps at times again nothing to worry about. 2 months old it should be plenty cycled. A water change to make sure those nutrients stay in check is not a bad idea.

As for feeding the product they sold you is fine, but no need to use it yet with the coral you have. Just hood onto it until you get some more coral in therr
