Really bad cyano outbreak?

[Dinodanger]

I have a year old tank and recently got cyano everywhere back wall rocks sand, it’s covering corals long stringy dark red, I used cyano rx it went then came back and is now immune to rx my flow is good and nutrients being no3 at 3 and po4 around 0.09 on icp and 0.05 on Salifert, I tried refresh also to no result, mb7 did dent it slightly but it’s free back in a day, it was caused by nopox and I’ve winded stopped it’s use, do I wait it out or is there some other way I can try get rid of it?

I have about a 99% cure rate in one pass in the sand rinse thread for beating cyano.

when you dose for it, if it does die, that becomes compounded waste mass.

we clean full tanks...rocks, sand, a certain way and they never recycle and we build up thirty pages of cures in no time. if your tank is 50 gallons maybe 70 max and you're serious about the right fix (removing the invasion + the waste, not compounding) then we can just clean your system to kill it off. the only reason to not do a sand rinse and keep the waste and cyano and dose the water, is if the system is six hundred gallons. if its anywhere accessible in volume, deep cleans add life to a reef tank they dont stress it. To be clean, and well fed, and high turnover, is a fringing reef model everybody's adapted to just fine and we use that angle to blast out an invader in one pass.

even if you dont select to clean, still curious to see your tank, post pics. your tank is young but that does not factor; to deep clean the right way preserves a reef tank and adds life, it does not stress it. Corals expand better than ever after rip cleans, we do them preventatively in ten thousand dollar setups all day long in the thread.
