The Ocean Nutrition trace+ is called a Micro or trace fertilizer. The iron is a trace fertilizer to. You also need some macro I.E. potassium, nitrogen, and Magnesium. Sticking with the ocean nutrition brand ferts theirs would be the Fertil+ bottle. it does not contain Nitrogen so im assuming they are thinking you will get It from natural sources (nitrogen cycle).
here is a good chart for helping on deficiency symptoms.

Edit: adding the macros will help balance the tank so algae would be less of an issue. allowing you to use both you lights, even at the 108 watts i would consider it a very low light tank and you may have trouble growing some plants.
