red slime or pink coralline?

[brackish10]

he algea seems to have more of a pink tint and isnt growing in "dead" spots, but is instead growing in high flow areas on my tank wall, substrate, rocks and even on the soap dish that holds my cheato. i dont know wether to stress i as red slime or be elated that its coralline.

If you can take a turkey baster & blown it off... it's cyano

but even if it is... you can whip it, everyone had it at onetime, usually related to overfeeding

turns out it is brown if under just white light. looks pink/red under my par38 full spec

Those corals will do fine without feeding if you're light is decent. I'd hold off on feeding the reef chili. That will add a lot of unnecessary nutrients to your tank.

i was feeding more to build my biofilter and for the shrimp. i pan on adding a Frogspawn and more zoas.

It's algae, not coralline. You need a stronger, continuous export of nutrients. And your biofilter is getting plenty from the pee from the animals (that's why you will always have to clean the glass, because the pee hits the glass before it gets to any filter).
