Blue-green-algae, or Red Slime Algae is Cyanobacteria. It manifests itself in a few forms/colours.
In FW tanks, it thrives in well-lit anaerobic areas with low nitrate content. In planted tanks this is accentuated because the plants uptake Nitrate.
Tell us much more about your tank so you can get a better suggestion how to treat it. There are medicines for it, or plant ferts (nitrates) to be added to quickly solve it.
