I used a similar product to get rid of a little bit i had on my sandbed and it was gone overnight. Did my water change right after that and all is well. :)

When did you dose the slime remover and has it worked yet on the red on the sand?

Very interesting, well yes i have been doing tank matenence weekly pwc changes, i added a small powerhead for more flow, lights are reduced downed to 6 hours a day, bulbs are only a couple months old, feeding are also reduced down to every other day, theres no slime just red sand..
 
When you do water change , you vacuum it. Also steer the sand , the filter would help. But water change is the main, cuz the waste only can get rid from water change.
