Rusty brown-only in this one spot, which is high flow. Have stirred it lightly several times but returns within 24-48hrs.

Looks like diatoms to me. They come and go. If you make a drastic change to your system, including adding or losing fish, coral etc, you can set them off. They usually resolve themselves in a few weeks.
