Test for phosphates, and aim your powerheads downward.

Cyano is usually lack of water mvement.

I have only been testing for the basic three; ammonia, nitrate and nitrite. I will bring some water to the LFS today and get them to test it. Maybe they can come up with something. I also readjusted my skimmer and it seems to be working better...

I will also leave the lights off for the next couple of days, as I know cyano needs light to thrive and depriving it of light will dispose of it.

Red Coral Calgary tested my water today and found phosphates at 0.25 and my nitrates at 7 - 10. I ended up getting some macro algea to put in there just in case. Will update later.
