I have a 55 gallon tank, no sump, I currently use aquaforest reef salt amd pro bio s. I have fuel, garlic, and feed lrs. Just got the products above last night. As well as the components...any help would be greatly appreciated.

To start with Pro bio S and NP Pro 5 days/week.
Other 2 days dose Pro bio F (dont dose NP Pro or Pro bio S on those days)
Dont start feeding amino now.
Use vitamin 2 times/week but half recommended dose alternate with build and energy.
You can use Power food once a week.
Build and Energy 2 times per week half recommended dose.

Keep a close eye on NO3 level and these supplements are designed for ultra low nutrient levels but your NO3 is very high compared to that. So, no amino now. You also dont need to stop garlic and fuel but I will recommend first reduce the amount of them and then completely stopping them.

I'll use the fuel until it's gone....garlic I use about 2 times a week.
 
Also keep an eye on NO3 and PO4 levels regularly as all these things are very potent and will affect their levels. The last thing I will hate to listen is that the dosing led to cyano...so go slow possibly very slow

Curious about this. Does Pro Bio S work in the absence of PO4? It's for the reduction of both, but given this tank's PO4 is close to zero, if PO4 does hit zero, can the bacteria still strive and reduce nitrates?

I think his PO4 is 0.02 instead of 0.002 as the salifert test kit is not that sensitive (low range 0.01-1ppm and medium 0.02-2ppm).So, with 0.02 ppm PO4 probio S will work and I think you missed the point that he is already using Pro bio S. Above all there is always enough PO4 to take care of NO3.
 
Any way to have these on dosing pumps? Or to automate it?
NP pro is dosable but every thing else you need to dose manually. You can use the life bio fill and then you may skip the Pro bio S dosing sometime.

Just feed the system and the Po'4 will come up.

What if I get phosphate minus? Then what would be taken out of the equation?
