Cyanobacteria / Red slime. What eats it?

[Gmandese]

I seem to be getting a lot of the red slime in my 10 gal reef tank. It's the only one out of 3 that's getting it. When I set this tank up, I got live sand from an established tank, probably they had the bacteria to begin with.
I'm cleaning every other day, so it's not overwhelming the rocks and livestock, but going into the tank has to be disturbing to my zoos and such.
As for my water, I have been using distilled water from the beginning, including water changes, so there can't be that many contaminants introduced by that avenue.
I'm using a Penguin 125 filter, with bio-wheel. Should I remove the bio-wheel?
I have no skimmer on this tank, I don't know of one that will fit a 10 gal.
I do 2 gallon water changes every week,and my livestock seems to be fine except for when I disturb them to clean. My chem levels are good, near 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, and 10-20 nitrates.

Is there anything (or things) that will eat this? I have hermits, snails, micro brittle stars(just a few as of yesterday). Does anyone have anything to spare? Any fish that think this is a delicacy? This is just getting annoying cleaning all the time!

I forgot to mention:
I put "marine snow" in the tank to feed, maybe too much nutrients? I have a Percula clown I give frozen brine shrimp to, is that enough?

try adding more flow in your tank, or move the powerheads so they are creating more turbulance through your water.

 

[Gmandese]

I have a powerhead "blowing" from right to left, in the center of the tank sidewall, quite a lot of flow. Should I move it to the front or back to create a more circular flow pattern?
The outflow is about 4 inches below the surface, blowing across the tops of the rock pile. Should I adjust the height?

probably too many nutrients in the water.Red Slime Remover works wonders.

 

[Gmandese]

Where would I get that? Does Fishtown or other LFS have that? Or, is it an online thing?

 

[Deanos]

My local Petland Discounts carries Red Slime Remover behind the counter. I'd imagine most other LFS carry it as well.

Ok, I'll give it a try. Also, I guess I'll cut down on feedings. Only have the 1 clown in the tank, with a bubble tip anemone 2 pipefish, 2 peppermint shrimp, and a couple of zoos, xenia, and a frag of tree coral.
Should I bother with the marine snow? or will they get enough from me feeding the clown some flakes and frozen brine shrimp?

i don't think you should bother with the marine snow....
