if you got the light used i would change the bulbs anyway
also you may want to think about adding a refugium to your tank

You won't really get a po4 if that's the problem causing your slime. As the read hair grows it'll take up po4, you could read zero, and still have po4 leaching into your tank. That said, I'd just leave it alone for a couple weeks, your tanks very new with a growing bioload, I don't find red hair that unexpected in your situation. It won't harm anything (blow it off your coral with a turkey baster... Softly) and see if it goes away on its own.

we've removed it multiple times.. and it keeps coming back. our phosphate was at zero.. i have it written down at home here
do you think we are feeding the fish too much? we feed a bit of mysis and flake .. everyday.. is that too much?

Your phosphate may read Zero on a test. But as the cyano uses the phosphates to grow it will show up at zero even though you have them. Does that make sense?....lol Its been a long day  I have also found at work that if i up the flow than it doesn't come back as fast. So flow plays an important roll. In the end it is a nutrient issue....What are your nitrates etc reading?
