I wouldn't worry about strontium, iodine, or trace elements. These will all be replenished by regular water changes.

I would keep calcium and alkalinity at the proper levels using a two-part supplement in a tank of that volume.

Be sure to test for any supplements that are added to your tank.

I agree. In a tank that small water changes are probably the easiest way to replenish these elements. If you use a salt mix like RC your calcium and alk should remain stable as well.
