Sorry - increasing Start2 or decreasing?

FWIW, here's my routine. I was doing more but I've cut back on non-essentials because I started having a few weird issues go on in the tank.

(100g of water in this particular system)

Morning:
- Dose 0.25-0.30 ("0.3 ish" minus whatever for the little air bubble in the syringe) Start2, direct into reactor
- Pump reactor 15 times
- Was dosing Coral Snow but stopped a few weeks ago.

Evening:
- Dose another 0.25-0.30 Start2 (direct into reactor)
- Dose 4 drops Zeobak (direct into reactor)
- Dose 4 drops Zeofood (direct into reactor)
- Pump reactor 15 times
- Was dosing 4 drops Sponge Power, 4 drops Coral Vitalizer, 4 drops SPS amino acids, 4 drops LPS amino acids, into display tank. Stopped about a month ago though, cyano started taking over.

I guess it's true what they say about older tanks though because it's weird but I started getting film algae worse after starting Zeo than I did before. Decided that since this is an older tank (6 years), that I shouldn't be so focused on tweaking with it though, instead will just continue on with basic 4 for now, and will resume focus on more Zeovit once again when I have a new setup running.
