not really, if your persistent it will go away, it does not dissapear overnight(well it does but comes right back lol) it takes a few approaches. one solution by its self usually does very little, its a combinations of approaches.
water changes, running gfo and maual removal. like mentioned after doing this do a dose of something like red slime remover etc.
a blackout is also effective.
i never get cyano and i run a nutrient rich system where i target a precise amount of nutrients for coral growth, its not always the nutrients that cause cyano.
things like snail spawns, decaying matter and bad lights can all cause it too.
its always been believed that low flow triggers cyano but were finding out that high flow doesnt help but makes it worse. there are people with sps dominant tanks filled with vortecs that still get cyano like i said the reasons it shows are many and so the approach to getting rid of it has to be many as well since its hard to target exactly what causes it as each tank is different.
if over feeding and low flow cause cyano then i should be covered in it , when i first got into reefing i battled it in every tank , now that i have a solid routine down i havent seen it in years regardless if its a new tank or old one(i too bought a running 5yr old tank and kept the sand)
