you're dosing a little on the heavy side. First off, for people starting Zeovit on an established tank for the first time you would be using 1L of media per 150 gallons of net volume. Your net volume for your setup is likely just below 50 gallons so you should be using one third of the bag for media.

I would dose 2 drops of zeobac and zeofood daily and no more than 0.5ml of the zeostart2. And remember the dosing cuts back after the first 2 weeks to weekly rather than daily.

This system is new to you, you're likely going to see some changes in the tank for the next little while, some good some bad. Just keep up with it and things should settle down. Also try and spread out the 0.5ml of zeostart2 over a few dosings a day rather than one. The zeostart is the major contributor for film and slime algae.

Zeovit is a tricky thing, from my experience it takes a trained eye to determine exactly what your tank needs on a daily bases. The guide should be used as a guide and only as a guide. You have to determine the dosing schedule that works best for you.
