I got a little bit of cyano and some film algae but it went away after a week.

I started dosing Coral Snow a few weeks ago as well. Any chance the combination of the 2 has caused all these algae problems ?

If anything I've found coral snow helps in getting rid of algae, not causing it. I've been using it to help get rid of green and red slime algae, not that its been helping but my corals look fabulous!
