I used PrecisionSolutions Cyano Solution 2 weeks ago and it worked wonders, within 24 hours, all cyano was gone from the tank like it never existed. Not sure where it all went but there was no red slime present on the sand at all.

Keep in mind that you have to do a large water change after its all gone, they recommend 25% but that still had my skimmer overflowing like mad. I did another 10% the next day, used a bag of carbon in the sump and in a reactor for 3 days, afterwards I turned my skimmer back on and emptied about 5 cups of clear skim and then it finally got back to normal.

I tried reducing feedings, light hours, and extra phosphate remover for a few weeks and none of it did anything, it just got worse. The cyano remover worked like magic imo plus the lfs gave me $5 off for trying the new product, lol.
