Additives only help if you have a deficiency. Over feeding is more detrimental and harder to fix than under feeding. I use dynagrows all in one macro/micro foliage, grow, and flower formulas. I keep small bottles of individual nutrients on the rare case of deficiency.

With bio you are adding raw mineral sources and the microbes are converting them to a form the roots can absorb. You are trying to feeding and cultivating good microbes without allowing the bad microbes to grow. Algae and the bad microbes thrive in high P, low O2, sunlight environments. Bad microbes and alae will kill the good microbes and start root rot.

Got distracted and forgot to mention;
If you want to quickly bump up macro, micro nutrients or kelp extract, foliar feeding is always another option. As long as your res stays sterile and drains to waist you can add bio mass to your media. Just remember that the bio mass is adding nutrients on top of the synthetic nutrients. How much is determined by the health and food supply of the microbe colony. The plant will tell you if it is over or under fed.

Looks great but I'd remove the tray directly under the air pots.
It'll hold runoff.
Everything else is great.


Stay safe

What if the perlite is to fine, falls through the bottom eg just skip that step?
