Ok i had a pencil urchin that would eat anything in his path even cyano. This is not a fix just a coverup. You have to find out where the source is coming from.

Interesting, I thought you were joking at first but I guess not. I didn't think anything, other than a clean tank, could get rid of Cyano. I don't have a problem anymore but I'll have to keep that in mind.
