There is a strange color on two spots in my tank. The picture is of bad quality but you can see the difference in color. Is this cyanobacteria?

I feel your pain. I've been struggling with cyanobacteria myself. Natural light is one of many causes that affected me.

Spot treating with H2O2 usually gets rid of it.
...but does not usually get rid of the cause...

Filter wasn't on full speed because I was not sure if the moss was attached to rocks. After removing and turning filter on full speed it didn't come back.

Indeed........But because cyanobacteria is able to fix its own nitrogen it can sometimes apear in a well maintained tank or by introduction of the organism?

I am quite sure there are cyanobacteria in all tanks and don't need to be introduced to get going
