Red Slime aka Cyano is just part of the regular tank cycling process. It may come and go for a while. Once you switch to RO/DI you will see less of it.. tap water always seems to be a major culprit. You can treat with chemiclean or one of the other red slime removers but IMO it just masks the issue and it comes back. I say this all from my own experience.

You can syphon it out but have some patience and it will get better.
