The red slime in my tank is driving me nuts!Please help?

i had the same problem, one issue the aquarium shop told me is from the blue light stays on for a long period of time, the shop owner told me to cut the hours back to 4 hours instead of all night. the product i use to get rid the algae which i have been using now for 2 years is Al-gone you could find it at www.algone.com within a week the red slime will be gone and you don't have to remove any carbon from the filters. just place in tank and it works wonders. i do not agree in putting chemicles in the tank as fishguy mention it is very harmful for the fish and coral. algone is all natural good bacteria that does not affect your fish or water.
