Will it ever go away? I've increased flow and decreased photo-period...any suiggestions?

If it's on the substrate/rocks, you can take some flex tubing and suck out as much as you can when doing a water change.

Make sure all your water parameters are in check....

Keep up what you are doing.

Stop feeding for a few days. Do a water change and probably the most important make sure your skimmer is clean and running efficiently. Might try some phosphate removal media in a reactor if you have one. Fighting Red Slime is all about nutrient export. If you want to suck out the Red Slime do it late in the day when it is at its highest point. If you see the Red Slime start to turn black that means it is receding and you are winning the battle.

There is a product called, "Red Slime Remover" on the market. It is reef safe just follow the directions and watch your PH as they state. I have used it a number of times and it does work. It is yellow and turns your water yellow for a few hours and I've noticed some corals (mostly polyps) close for that time but everything goes back to normal. I don't like adding any chemical but I got to a point once and tried it on the recommendation of lfs and reluctantly used it and was amazed. 1-2 days and slime was gone! It is up to you.

Wow! Thanks for the great tips. I'm confident I can get it under control now. Thanks to you all.
