Obviously increasing water changes but of the following?

A. Adding a power head

B. Adding more live rock and sand

C. Keeping the lights off for 3 days

D. Another option
 
A. D. IMO more water movement in affected area. Have your water tested as it feeds on Phosphates and excess nutrients. If it is getting out of control you could use a product like ChemClean's Red Slime Remover as a temporary fix. Add a Phosphate remover.
 
Ok I'll go w/ power head.. I have 1 in the upper left corner, should I put the other in lower right?
 
Place it were you will have good flow were the cyano is at and good flow thru out tank. I move mine up or down to mix up flow once in awhile.
