Your rock looks pretty clean. What are your nitrates at? I think you definitely need to raise your nutrients based on your phosphate levels alone.

I have no3 zero po4 zero...but i really not Understand why Every 2 days glass became dirty with White algae...

I just had issues with my tank and my sps pale out. Turns out it was phosphate limited, I didn’t think it possible if feeding to actually have coral pale from phosphate limitation, although it’s common with nitrate depletion but I had detectable no3. Anyway I did something I never thought I ever would in this hobby, hooked up phosphate on a doser and the tank turned around. No other changes as I fed pretty heavy already.

I was still getting algae on glass - it seems the algae or other organisms can under the right situation uptake the phosphate or nitrate faster than corals.

So despite the fact you get film on the glass I would feed more or dose if needed to get detectable phosphate and nitrate.

That white film on the glass growing so fast is most likely bacteria driven and they are sucking up the nutrients from the water because there is so much of said bacteria. What are you dosing to the tank again?

Your rock and tank look sterile/clean... not like a living ocean at all. Lack of diversity and low nutrients. White film sounds like bacteria to me.

Either A: Increase the level of nitrates & phosphates in the tank or...

B: Target feed your corals daily, preferably after the lights turn off and with the return pump shut off for twenty minutes or so. Your coral is starving.

How old is your tank?
