alcohol, tank, sandbed schmutz question

as some may know around thanksgiving I moved from my 92 to a 120 same rock same water new sand. same dosing of vodka. I have noticed I needed to cut my vodka dose down for some reason due to bacterial growth. I have also noticed that although my parameters are great I am getting some red slime and green fuzz algea ( probably hair) is this new tank syndrom or something else?
