White film on glass is indication of over dose bacteria source. U can decrease zeobak and zeostart3 50% for a week and observe

Does over dose biomate cause this ???
I don't use biomate so I don't know the symptom. But anytime white film is on the glass it's a sign of too much bacteria. The recommended dosage per gallon is not exactly precise because the rock and surface for bacteria to grow are different from tank to tank. Remember zeovit was out since 2001 and back then the reef tank was fill with live rock compare to minimalist reef tank now a days is a big different in surface area. I hope the explanation will clear some questions that u have.
As far as trouble sign u can read it from here

U can get the bigger one and fill it with appropriate amount and in the future u can add more if needed.

The rating of the reactor is not very accurate u can use the higher settings just monitor your tank

Dino is nutrients problem and lack of biodiversity to compete. The best and fastest way to control dino is to add real live rock with good biodiversity. Do u have any coral or fish in the tank? Do u test for nitrate and phosphate? Zeovit can add bacteria and microorganisms to make your tank biodiversity better but its a slow build up process. A lot of tank lately have dino problem because they start with all dry rock and their biodiversity is lacking. Years ago when we used real live rock we dont have much dino problem only unwanted hair algae.

the tank is runing for about 15 month now
and yes i started with dry rock
i have lot and lot of corals frags +200 frags and some small colony of SPS, Acan, open brain
i have been dosing bioback 7 last time i got dino
now i start dosing again to try to control it
i have 100L tank full of only rocks

so if i start zeovit now it won't be a problem right? i am late cuz i order worng reactor and i am waiting the new one to arrive the one i have is very small but if so i will start it for now
