While your tank may be cycled, it is far from matured. As sde1500 said, your tank will still go through a bunch of phases over the next 6 months to a year. You will likely get diatoms (which is likely what you are seeing now), hair algae, and several other nasties - especially if you add anything from other tanks.

Reef tanks are a marathon and not a race.
