Default re cyano

I have brand new bulbs in my tank..and still have cyano
I think that it has alot to do with waste products and nitrates...
Trying to get those under control with less food and more water changes
I also got rid of my sand bed in one of my invert tanks and that seemed to get rid of it as well..
I dunno...I just siphon it off..seems to set it back a bit.

I had a bad case of cyano a while back. I stoped feeding frozen foods and did a few large water changes. Now my fish only get nori and prime reef flake. The tank has never looked better, if i would only clean the glass once and awhile.
