Hi Leighton,

Do you no much about Cyano? I pressume an part water change and syponing it off is the first port of call, Without reading upon it it take it that nutrient rich water causes this.

Yup! Agreed. Red Slime Algea(Cyanobacteria). Suck it up with a hose, and do a PWC.
Comes from excessive nutrients in your water.
Ie. Nitrates, Phosphates
Cut back on your feeding/ about half. And shave a few hours off your lights! This will help get it under control.

Air line tubing FTW in this case. Best advice already given. Good luck.
