How long has the tank been set up for and what does good water levels mean? it sounds like diatoms or some type of red slime alage, or it could be coraline alage

The tank has been set up for about 3-4 months.
by good water I guess I mean the following according to my test kit
Ammonia 0
Nitrite .25
Nitrate 0
Ph 7.8-8.0m( I added a bit if ph boost to it)
Salinity 1.025 (with a hydrometer)
temp 78
10% water change each week
Top of with fresh as needed
