I believe the red cyano ia a bacteria , I dont know of anything that will eat it. Try water changes or Red Slime Remover. For the hair, get some hermit crabs.

What are your nitrate and phosphate levels?

I noticed in your signature that you are using a bio-wheel.
These devices can eventually lead to an excess of nitrates.
This is fuel for algal, and other pests such as diatoms and cyano, growth.
