I used to have a small bit that just showed up in one part of my tank. I lowered the amount of time my light was on and got some small crabs to pick at it. Lowering the amount you are feeding is a wise idea much like the above post stated. If you do water changes you can suck the stuff out, try and get the bubbles with it to help slow the spreading. My first mistake was draining too much water while trying to clean the tank, if you drain too much water it will just keep comen back.

do some more reading around...
cyano is a common reefissue and often solved without running out and buying something to do it.

I see in another post that you dose zeovit nightly. A while back I had a little patch of cyano show up the next day after dosing. I dose every second day. I cut my amount that I put in the tank to a quarter amount than what is suggested on the bottle and have had better results and the cyano has not come back since.

well i did bunch of reading, mainly on the zeovit stuff
I ended up vacuming out the cyano (which i think i could have just grabed and peeled off the sand) and right after dosing zeozyme with coral snow and zeobak. gonna stop cv and sp for a few days and just dose the zeozyme mixture.

seems the best way to go, i love this zeo stuff, my water is so damn clean looking since i started using it. and since i started dosing my two rbtas that seem to have been dieing since they turned super white, have now colored back up. not sure if its related or just a fluke.
