need help with my reef tank

last week, my tank grow slime algae so i used red slime remover, and it's gone this week. Today i changed 20% water and also i decided to put in a seio 620 in and add one more powerhead with the tube with 5 holes pointed up toward the light. i wonder if this set up will help my tank stop growing algae and safe for the fish. seio is 620gph and other one is 1100gph.

First

Secondly, the algae may be caused by several different factors. Do you have all of your water parameters such as salinity, ammonia, phosphates, nitrates handy? If so, would you post them please for everyone to see and help you.
