Cyanobacteria doesn't always come in red shades. It can be a brown form too. If it is slimey and vaccuums up easily it is cyano. I do not think yours is cyano, It appears to be some kind of hair algae. Try some emerald crabs and do water changes to get out as many of the algae spores as possible. Have you tested your phosphate levels?
