Could be diatoms as it appears to be a newer tank. Could be beginning of cyano. Could be a red/brown algae too. Hard to say. Watch nitrates/phosphates rising. May want to check for silicates also.

The coloration is red it appears after i treated my dino problem
Probably cyano. Does it fade and night and grow during the light?

Yes! Will mb7 helps? Siphone method? Or should i blast it off?
Cyano can be a pain. I am battling it myself in one tank. I do the blow off rocks, siphon sand and water change to help. You will need to find the balance to be rid of it.
I am not sure if they sell the red slime remover (cyano treatment) where you are. I use this regularly in my smaller tanks and larger tanks when annoyed enough. I have had no issues with it.

I live in dubai. Its a very small area and its just starting and want to prevent it as soon as possible
Use the red slime remover (cyano treatment) if you can get it there. Best bet to knock it down. Follow directions closely.

I blew it off and just came off easily lets see if it comes back
IT will keep coming. It takes many blows, and water changes. Also, if you have a UV you can use that.
