i know the brown on the sand is, but what about this reddish stringy stuff that's now growing on my rocks. I used dead rock to cycle so I hope this isn't any nuisance algae.

Its cyanobacteria on the rocks. When doing a water change just siphon it out. If it comes back try adding more flow to that spot
