So I've got some algae issues, red slime, and some other stuff. It isn't as bad as it used to be since I finally switched over to a RO/Di unit, I've been using that water now for about 3-4 water changes and has helped alot. However I can't seem to get rid of what ever is there. Tbh it not that big of an issue until I change the water, it's the smell from it that starts bothering me.

Also wonder what y'all think I should add, I have two clownfish, one red dragonet, a bunch of blue legged hermit crabs, 5 nassaias snails, 5 turbo snails, a unknown zoanthids (actually 2), and one mushroom coral.

I'm looking at getting a new circulation pump with enough flow for the tank, the one I have is to small for my 32 gallon tank.

You’ll see improvement more and more soon. That’ll hang on for a bit but bad water can tank a while to get over.
Honestly , blowing it off, adding good bacteria (dr tims probido fritzyme ) and adding flow like your doing is the best thing for it.
 
Yeah I would say you are criminally lacking flow. In my opinion I would aim for two tunze 6015, which is the smallest tunze they make at about 450gph each. With a very small mod with wire cutters it can be pushing an easy 700+ gph. They're like $35, and you'll never have a problem with it.
