Thumbs down algea problem

hi all, i have had a 55 gallon reef for a about 7months and have recently upgraded to a 90 gallon system. I am having a huge problem with a red slime algea that has overgrown my tank. it is trapping bubbles all over and im worried that my corals and such arent to happy.

i will get some pics up very shortly but i was wondering if anyone can help with this problem.

nova extreme 8x54 t5 system
30lbs of live rock
