Red Slime

I am having a problem with red slime. My tank has been cycled since May and doing very well I thought. I started it as a fish only tank but decided to start adding some corals after some of the live rock I had purchased had some zoos on it. The zoos started to multiply so I added two small pieces of coral from my LPS. Everything seemed fine until about a week ago. I started seeing the red slime on one side of my tank in the gravel. Then it started creeping upwards onto the rocks. I took the rocks out and lightly scrubbed them when I did a water change but the slime continues to grow. Any insight into the slime problem would be apprciated.

Thanks, I'll try to hit that area a little more. Right now I have a large power head, maxi jet 900, at each end and a 2 foot spray bar (from the sump) in the middle of the tank- which is a 110 gal. The circulation seems to be OK but do you think more is needed?
