I've encountered my share of cyano blooms in a number of my tanks. I always fall victim now to "chemical warfare". I use "Red Slime Remover". I believe "Red Sea" is the manufacturer. I hate using additives but it works. Every time! It's expensive. About $ 30.00. That'll give ya' numerous treatments though, if needed.
It's had no ill effects on fish or inverts. It does give the water an unsightly yellow tinge. Turn your skimmer off 'cause it'll make a mess too. It kicks the hell outa' the pH though so go hard with airstones and "test the waters" daily.
Good luck.
