If your bulbs are getting old it could be that. As the bulb ages its output declines.
When I had red slime issues I ran chemiclean Red slime remover (2 cycles). That removed all of my red slime and it has not come back since. I also use Aqua Connect Contraphos and find it has gotten rid of basicly all the algae in my tank (does not affect my coralline which I want on my lr) With the Contraphos, there are no english instructions, but basicly for my 125ish tank I started with putting 100 ml in the provided filter bag and putting it in for a week. Then I would change the media and put the new stuff in for a week. After 3 weeks I now change the media around once a month and have no algae problems. I tend to over feed so i know my fish are producing a lot of waste and some food just gets lost in the tank. So you can try the above out and hopefully it works for you if you still have the algae probs.

thanks..My bulbs are fairly new though and I don't think they need replacement until about 50000 hours or something ridiculous...they are solaris..my problem is controlling the computer that controls the lighting...Everything in my parameters looks like I am overfeeding but I am hardly feeding at all...maybe one cube every second day total...and there are about 9 medium fish, 10 chromis, and a few other small ones...so I don't know why I can't get my parameters down....but as I said i seem to have the cyano algae undercontrol (I hope)...
  but what is the contraphos that you used? is that just an algae remover? I can't read the language it is written in Last edited by meiyouwenti; 09-11-2008 at 06:01 AM.
