Cyanobacteria?

[Micro-Reefs Aquarium]

Parameters

Nitrate 10ppm
Phosphates 0 ppm

I took down my cheato since I was medicating my tank with ecobalance Dr. Tim's.

UV was shut off for about 2 weeks.

Tank is 5 months young live rock and SPS look good, just one corner of my tank is with red stringy slime.

I feel this is a phase of my tank still Maturing?

It does look like cyano on the sand
Just keep sucking it out and you should be fine

How is the flow in that corner, might be a low flow spot?

My aquarium is super small volume of water 10 gallons and I have a Nero3 centered in the back false wall. I have a lot of flow moving since it is a SPS, I will increase it a bit more to see if that helps out.

Thanks for the advice!
