What is this? It comes in the afternoon and goes and night. How do I get rid of it?

That looks like the start of Red slime algea. It comes from too many nutrients in the water. I would suck out what you can with a siphon during a water change, reduce your feedings by about half, and take a little time off your photoperiod, till it's not appearing anymore.
