So I've got a tank mostly full of SPS. What do I do while going fallow for 76 days due to ich devastating my tank? What should I dose to replace the fish waste/food for the corals?

Suggestions?
 
main thing that comes to mind is increased feeding of the corals to maintain nitrate levels and give them something to eat weather it be spot feeding or broadcast both should in theory work.
 
Do you think turning the skimmer off would help keep some nutrients?

Do you think I'll need to dose nitrate or phosphate?
 
It would but it will also greatly reduce your air exchange rate, I’d be very cautious about dosing those however, imo keeping it as close to when fish are there but trying to mimic the added waste with more food or somthing might be the best approach
