Your dosing is:
~1ppm PO4
~7pm K
~6ppm NO3 (at 1/4tsp doses of KNO3)

Its hard to dose KH2PO4 dry into that volume unless you have a scale, but 1/32tsp (a "Smidgen") gets you close at ~0.7ppm PO4. Use your old Seachem bottle to make a dosing solution instead: 2tsp KH2PO4 into 250mLs with 5mL doses is about ~1ppm PO4.

You could add 1-4-1/2tsp K2SO4 for 5-10ppm K. You could add 1tsp each week instead and be done with K.

Under EI, Plantbrain suggests 1/8tsp of Equilibrium into a high light 20gal once a week. He generally treats GH Booster the same though the percentages of Mg and Ca are slightly different, so you could start with 1/4tsp after the weekly water changes and see what you think.

You got it except for traces
micro 1/4 tsp CSM+b
then ?tsp of GH booster
Should be 1/4tsp GH Booster per week.

Your old/current CSM+B dosing should be good. 1/16-1/8tsp dry, or in solution, 2tsp CSM+B per 250mLs water, with 10ml doses every other day (~0.2ppm Fe), and you can go up or down by 5mL is you want to.
