Advice needed

I think you are simply still dealing with new tank syndrome. Live rock bio filtration needs to catch up. Water changes will help, try to remove as much cyano as you can. Watch your feedings and maybe reduce your white light cycle for a bit, 8 hours is a lot!

What do you have for livestock?

Thanks for the suggestions!! I have 2 false Perc's , 2 cromis. 1 long spine urchin. I have been feeding them new era flake every couple days, once a week I feed 1 crude cyclopeeze and 1 cube mysis. Coral I have a candy cane, branchin hammer, frogspawn, toadstool, some zoas and ricorcordeas


Tmr I can post my exact light schedule with percentages, I will deff run the lights on a shorter cycle

You can also try Chemiclean to battle cyano. I used it a few months ago on my tank and I'm still cyano free. *knock on wood*

The only times I've had issues with cyano were when my PO4 levels were elevated. Like others have said try reducing your white light, check your PO4, and frequent water changes.

^^ This.

I too have a tank set up around the same time and am also going through cyano and what you've described so far sounds like the normal bumps in the road of a new tank.
