There are hundreds of advanced aquarists that do not use trace
elements. Of these hundreds there are many that do not even do regular
water changes. There is a school of thought that trace element
supplimentation is not needed. (I don't happen to share in this
opinion, my tank has been doing MUCH better since I started regular
water changes!)

Replacing salt with what remains after evaporation is a bad idea. Some
salts do not remain stable through the process of evaporation and a lot
is lost in the process. (The main reason why we cant just evaporate
sea water and re-hydrate it for our tanks- it would not work well at
all.)
