thats more than enough phosphate to grow algae, the recommended level for a reef tank is less than .03ppm.
cyano uses CO2 to grow so by increasing the flow you will bring oxygen rich water to the area, slowing the growth. combine that with the reduced phosphates and the bacteria has no more fuel to grow. so when you siphon the cyano off the rock during water changes it will not come back
