I have had my tank set up for almost a year now and last week I noticed it is developing red slime. What is causing this and how can it be treated in a reef tank?

its most likley cynobacteria. Increase the flow to the infected area and make sure you dont have any nitrates in the tank.
Increase skimming if possible, water changes may help decrease nutients, increase flow, decrease feeding.

Check your PO4 level, although may read 0 and still be a problem. Try running some GFO.
