I have a 25 lagoon tank with mighty jet nano, slw-20 wavemaker, 2 ai primes, ato. My back chambers is filled with media balls. The tank has been running for 2 months going on 3 and the cyano is going crazy in my tank. I thought about reducing my lights and adding bacteria in my tank to fight back.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?!?!?!?!?!

Looks normal for a new tank. Put more flow pointed at the front where that cyano is. Siphon it out. It will go away over time.
Or as the others will tell you kill it with chemicals. Read what the side effects can be before trying this way
 
I have flow aiming down towards the sand now. But the cyano is all over the place and i dont want to use any chemicals

Siphon it out. It might take time but it will go away. Seems like we all have some time right now.
 
Good call not use chemicals, they will simply mask the cause and likely cause other side effects so it becomes a rolling cluster$%$#. It is bacteria, so syphon it out every day (or twice if it is feral), lower lights, reduce feeding and increase flow. It will go away in time with stability.
