Fix the source of your nitrate and phosphate problem. Only use RO water. Manually remove some. Buy a protein skimmer. Use a phosphate reactor. Turn your lights off for a few days. Read about hair algae removal. Feed less, use macro algae. Do water changes and remove detritus from your rocks.

Also, research cyano bacteria (aka red slime algae), which is what you're describing.
