Have you tried sugar?
read a post on rc that said sugar reduces the cyano. We all know there are a few things cyano likes high nutrients, amino acids, lo flow and lets remember this is a bacteria a lights off for a few days may cure the cyano but even if there is a pinch in your tank thats all it needs to get back.
Traditionally in the past I have used red slime remover as I didn't have time to battle cyano however after killing a purple gorg I will never use an antibiotic again in my reef tanks. So theres got to be a natural cure anyhow report back to us on the lights out battle and I'll report here on the sugar dosing to rid this stuff.
So far I have a 50g skimmerless adequete flow feeding mysis and prawns once a week to my softies and lps which was probally a huge part to getting a tank with cyano. Since yesterday I put in 2 table spoons of sugar I will wait another 2 days and put in the same amount, because I dont have a skimmer I believe that the corals may uptake some sugar but not much anyhow I'll report back on my process here.
