I had my tank for 4 months... i add calcium, iodine, stontiun and molybdenum. i would like to know if these things get taken out by either my skimmer or canister filter with carbon?

Are you testing the levels of all the stuff you are dosing?

Calcium suppliment is a must...but the others will be taken care of with a good water change schedule....

So is this other stuff found in the water or in the salt additive?

Yes, it is found in most all Salt Mixes. That is why I do a weekly water change of 2 gallons. It is better for my aquarium and saves me alot of money on purchasing usless additives.
