Interesting that you still get algae on the glass despite such heavy dosing.
FWIW in my tank I'm using about 300-500cc kalk saturated vinegar a day and get no algae growth on the glass.
Instead I get a white film after a few days that I assume is bacteria. There is a very light growth of hair algae on the rock and some white/red/black spongy looking stuff on the bottom that looks like a mix of cyano and bacteria. Am also running a bunch of GFO and carbon as I just hate algae.
Some of my SPS near 400W 20K's turned almost white around when nitrates when from 20 to zero and the leathers/ colt corals still look ok.
