What am I doing wrong?

Run a GFO reactor if you can, a two little fishes reactor can be had cheap online and GFO will help you reduce the phosphates, ideally if you can get 2 of them run some carbon as well in a seperate reactor. You always want to have multiple sources of nutrient export to balance out your nutrient intake (feedings, algae, poop, etc...) this is the key to keeping a clean reef, in nature we have giant refugiums and other natural ways of exporting junk but our tanks don't have these resources so we have to make our own.

There's definitely some helpful advice listed here. One thing that's been overlooked though; you have a LOT of fish, IMO. Especially for a skimmer that's underrated for your tank. I'd look at trading or giving away some of your fish. Three tangs in a 90 is going to be tough.

Good luck, and stick with it!

Had the same problem in the first 6 months of my tank being set up. I altered the light cycle, did water changes and tested constantly. Nothing worked.

I used Red Slime Remover once and havent had a trace of red slime since, well over a year now. Now I know your supposed to find the cause of the problem and remedy it.....but hey it worked.

I would definitely up the water movement in the tank to areas where that crap grows.
