To ad, my red turf algae has been diminishing significantly. I'm not sure what's going right (but I'm thrilled anyway) but through help from you guys at RC I made a few changes in the last month. I had a bad ballast on my light which I replaced as well as two bulbs (fiji purple and new gen), I've cut back feedings to more numerous small ones to reduce waste and I also tried out some of the zeozyme (Kevin gave me a sample to try). In addition I really have tried to keep on top of maintenance and change filter socks daily.

One of these things has worked wonders, not sure if it was one or a combination of all. IIRC your bulbs are all pretty new but perhps you might consider the ZZ? I'm not a fan of additives, but I think it may of helped. Perhaps some of the hardcore ZEO guys can chime in on it's effectiveness?
