Red slime treatment is not like an ATM. It's not an instant remedy.
If you read it says more than one treatment may necessary... Along with a water change at x days. And yes... Turn off the skimmer It removes it.
I used it along with manually removing and it took 6 weeks.
I think you have an issue you have yet to identify. Everyone claims their tank parameters are good... But something you are doing is causing the cyano.
A well maintained tank usually has controllable algae.
Good luck.
