OK i got a 55 gallon tank with:

-2 550 penguin power heads on both sides of my tank that run all the time and flow 145 gallons per hour and one has a bubble valve on one of them
-I have a rina air pump for a 100 gallon tank but it is used for by bubble wall in the middle of my tank
-new light bulbs that work fine, i have them on average hours up to 8-9 hours a day

Fish-2 golbys 1 clown fish and 1 wrasse that get fed brine shrimp once a day.

***I have a red/dark purple slime algea problem that wont go away even with my new replaced power heads. This slime algea grows rapidly quick all throughout my tank. I clean it then a 2 weeks later itll be covered. Any solutions or ideas to get ride of this algea!! pleasee!!!
