Why do I have all these Stingy-algea with bubbles all over the tank? Parameter seems to be ok. I started seing more and more since I start using the water from Wal-mart.

Have you tested that water with a TDS meter? If not, I would really suggest doing so. I would also test the water for any phosphate. Do you have live rock and sand in the tank as well?

What LFS did you take it to? If it is cyano algae, kill the lights for three days. Your corals will be fine. If it is hair algae, it's a phosphate/nitrate thing. Have you topped off with tap water? One time will do it. The water here is loaded with silicates. Do a water change, reduce your photo period, these usually do it. How long are your lights on during the day? Do you have a pic? If not, gimme a call, I'll come by.
