What type of sand is this?

I have a 28g nano that has some kind of reddish slime algae that's growing out of control. Took water to my reef guy and had him run test and I have no nitrates, no silicates, no phosphates, I mean absolutely no problems with water quality but yet I have this algal bloom that is running rampet in my tank.

I read an article on here a while back was about not vacuuming your sand bed anymore. Just do water changes from your water column and leave the sand alone. Could this be the root of all evils that is causing my problems?!!!

I would love to hear what everyone thinks about my problem on here. Posted below I have a few pics of the tank. It hasn't affected my fish just killed off a few corals and is extremely unsightly!

get some chemiclean, its made mainly for red slime if i remember right. just follow instructions on the box, its ok to over dose it but make sure to do a water change after 48hrs or it can drop your oxygen lvls. itll work magic on the stuff, trust me. and no, red slime doesnt mean something is wrong with your tank paramiters however it can cause a flux if left unchecked.
but ya, grab some Chemiclean at your lfs and itll end your nightmare and your tank and remaining corals will thank you.

That is Fiji pink sand. And I am not running any chaeto in the sump sections. Maybe I'll look into getting some and see what happens
