You're not getting any readings because that's what cyano feeds off of is nitrates and phosphates! Keep up your water changes ( bigger and more frequently). And make sure you are using RO/DI water. Not tap

It might be because I'm on my phone and the pics are wee, but I can't see any cyano. There might be some diatoms tho.

How old is your tank? Cyano and diatoms are usually just part of the cycle

Try moving your power heads to the ends of your tank pointer at each other. It's most likely diatoms. They feed silica and will burn themselves out in time. All new tanks go thru a series of maladies. Next may be a Cynao. Make sure to use RO/"DI" water Good luck!
