I had to do a blackout when I had a bad algae bloom a few years ago same thing usd blankets because even ambiant light will help it I also used weiss algae remover gone in a few days not sure if it's safe to use with reefs though
I do completely vacuum out the cyano every week, and aimed my powerheads at the problem spots, but it just always comes back in a new spot, and gets worse each week.

Hmmm,

Post your water parameters, a picture of your display tank, sump and/or filtration setup, maybe answer a few more questions..and I guarantee that the people and combined knowledge on this board can solve the problem for you.
Money back guarantee.

I feel bad for the guy, was hoping to see a response back from him but here goes nothing.

This is the problem with this hobby. And I have been through dinos, and cyano. It's a headache but you can get through it. Like mentioned previously, ditch the fluval and move to a aquaclear. Also, wouldn't mind seeing a picture of your rock work, and how the power heads are set up.

You can get through this. Star with the mentioned about and turn off your lights, put a blanket over the tank for 3days and start dozing kz coral snow every day. This has been the most effective way for me and works like a charm.
