Question about nutrient dosing a 75 Gal CO2 planted tank. Help/Advice

Currently researching CO2 for my new 75 gal, have all the parts for it either here or on the way. I'm a touch confused by the guide for nutrients on the subreddit. So far I'm planning on dosing these as recommended on the bottles to start and then increasing. I also have a bottle of Aquarium CO-OP easy green that I've been using on my 29 gal that I could add as well but was thinking not. Does this dosing list sound okay? Is there anything I should change, or watch out for, cheaper options or really just any advice would be lovely. Thanks in advance, cheers.

This will be a freshwater tank, don't know if this still applies. What would you recommend for testing? I was going to do the EI method with a 50% change weekly

Yea I see reef keeping is a good but different but mainly don’t add too much phosphorus or nitrogen or that will lead to bad algae when out of wack. Also don’t way over due the trace elements and irons me such. But with 50% water changes that will be alot harder
