Red Slime Algae remover

Who has experience with this product?
I've had a significant red algae problem in my 1 year-old 75 gal. reef tank and have taken a # of steps to correct it:
1) New Halide and Actinic bulbs (staggered replacement)
2) Better water flow (with additional powerhead) and a wave-generating power strip (powering the 3 separate heads)
3) Increased flow through protein skimmer
4) Frequent water change (10% / week)

My water source is a home 4-stage filter unit including RO. The unit is functioning well according to my TDI meter.

I have definitely slowed the red algae growth, but haven't been able to erradicate it. Am I putting my tank at risk using the "Red Slime Algae Remover"?

Thanks for the help!

Ive used it. it works. no harm to coral or fish. stop skimming while you use it though, it will remove the medicine,
