Please tell us if you dose kalkwasser.

I dealt with my one and only cyano bout by adding a lot more water flow. This stuff loves stagnent areas. I went with 20 tank turnovers per hour. That is if you have a 100 gal tank, you want the sum of all your watermovement to add up to 2000 gal / hr.

This took care of it for me. I used no chemicals/drugs, no changes to the light cycle and no crabs/snails. BTW animals crap out all the minerals they eat. In otherwords, recyling does not lead to elimination.

Good luck!
