Red stringy stuff cropping up all over

My office 6 gallon nano has been up for several months. It was started with rock, water and sand from my running reef tank at home.

In the last 2 weeks or so I've noticed some red stringy slime reaching or hung up on my macro algea and coral frags.

Is this Cyanobacteria?

Yes, cyano most likely. There's plenty of threads on here about how to remove it just do a search
