Yes that's "red slime". Better known as Cyanobacteria. It is a very normal part of NTS ( new tank syndrome". Increase flow, decreas available nutrients, siphon out as much ch as you can with water changes. And let it run its course.

My tank had it terrible when cycling then one day it just all went away :-:
