Strange that reducing your photo period didn't do the trick, it's always worked for me. Any cyano I've had goes away every day only to reappear the next day. All you need to do is shut your lights off each day before it gets too bad, and usually the stuff doesn't have a chance. Once you've reduced it you can gradually increase your lighting again. Cyano is in all aquariums, it's one of the good guys, it consumes nutrients. It's only when you get the ugly blooms due to an imbalance that it becomes a problem.

i've had this problem before
Go to lfs and get red slime control phycially take out as much of the slime as you can then follow directions on box. I found with out this it always came back then lower phos and maintain good water flow. I did this about 6 months ago and problem disappeared it seems to have no impact on reefs either

Everyone has fought this at one time or another. In my case, I decreased feeding, ran phosphate removers, did massive water changes, ran carbon and finally resorted to red-slime remover. None of those made an improvement.
I upgraded my skimmer and the cyano vanished in 24hrs.
