The bottled liquid food for corals...and the trace elements (calcium, iodine...etc) they are totally differennt things right?

And both of them are required for the health of corals?

Yes they are different.

Something like phytoplankton is not a trace element, but will probably help the corals.

Yes, they are much different. The trace elements have minerals in natural saltwater that are vital for corals and inverts. The liquid food is phytoplankton(I hope thats what your talking about) and that is used to feed corals and filter feeders.
There is a lot of different opionions about the 2, but I say they work. I use bio-plankton and reef solutions all in one and they've helped my corals grow really well.
