First off I think its RHA(Red Hair Algae)... It doesn't look like Cyano. Also you gotta deal with the problem at hand... Your RHA or Cyano is being caused by High Nitrates and Phosphates. I suggest go 3 days without light start running GFO and do a big ass water change probably around 30% try to get as much of the RHA/Cyano. You might want to get rid of some fish. Add more flow, or make your rockscape more open. So you dont run into those problems again. But great to see an update man!
my friend was working on my tank and disturbed my sand bed and i have been battling with cyano for a month almost have it takin care of. i had red turf algae in my sump looks exactly what u have. i out turbo snails in the sump and all gone.... not over night takes time but they do work and water change and gfo
doesnt look like red slime that much.but im face a red slime problem and that chemi clean crap is junk.will be back in less them a month.red slime remover is the best but hard to get out of system after so you will need to wet skim it out.i just got myself a reactor and running loads of gfo hoping to help the problem out.good luck.
thank you for the comment. I dont want to get rid of any fish. I will look into getting some turbo snails and adding the gfo reactor again.

Go bare bottom. I did. And love it. Will post a vid of my new tank soon. Its bare bottom and looks great.
I think you are right. I dont see a slime for it being cyano. It is more likely red turf or red hair algae.
