My tank is 55gal PH 8.2, Copper.05,Nitrate 20,Nitrite 0, Alm 0, salinity 1.024. Also lighting 3 40watt of VHO. What is the reason for Red Algae and any suggestions on how to cure my tank of this.

maybe not enough water crculation or too many phosphates. What do phosphates and nitrate test at?

Definitely check your phosphate level. Mine was a little too high. I was getting a lot of green algae. The cyano was starting to come back too. I did a water change and it seems to be ok now.
