Default Sick Algae Buildup

It looks like the insides of my tubing is growing chickenpox or herpes or something. Bright red splotches are appearing on the tubing. I killed the last batch of algae by adding Hyperlube, but I guess there was a strain in there that actually LIKES it.

Question: what is the best flush chemical to get rid of organic deposits? I don't care about toxicity issues (i.e. methanol) or nothing, as it will just be for a three hour flush/burn run. I want to ensure that my system is free of gunk before I refill it with new coolant.

Also, is there a good chem to wash the inside of the tubing that WON'T be a bastard to flush out? I'm thinking of soap or something. I want to get my system completely cleaned ....
