No I think you at the lower limit.

How often are you needing to clean the glass?

I'd say about once per week but I have to use a razor blade, the magfloat doesn't cut through the stuff that's there. The magfloat will keep it clean if I do it every day, every 2-3 days at the longest. After that there is stuff that won't come off without the razor blade.

I struggled with algea on the glass for a lone time. I'd still say I have about the same amount as if I wasn't on Zeo. I clean with a Mag float about every 7 days.

I'm convinced it's a side effect of Zeo that passes over time.
Are you running any phosphate remover like Rowaphos?

Personally (and I'm not expert) I would return to the Zeoguide spec for the 4 basic Zeo products.
Run like that untill the next rock change and monitor the phosphate and nitrate levels closely.

I have found there is quite a battle for the available nutrient in the Zeo System. The biggest issue is ensureing that the ZeoBak is the winner. The addition of CV, Spur2, AAHC, Sponge power and others, Make more nutrients available for other bactirias or Algaes. this is the main reason you do not want to start the addition of these ellements too soon. (despite what many people say on Zeovit.com)
This is my opinion only but through the last 2 1/2 years I have found controlling the additional ellements can resolve a lot of problems once you are running a low nutrient system

Clean glass every 7 days! Nice. I have to clean mine every 2-3 days. I find that the longer I delay the cleaning, the more algae is "freed up" to float around the water column.

If I delay too long, I have to clean two days in a row because the algae just re-settles on the glas' following the first cleaning.
