Increased wc's with ro/di water and reduced feeding and lighting. Also having proper flow so detritus doesn't settle. That being said really need info about your set up to help you specifically
 
I use ro/di and feed every 3rd day, full lights are on for 8 hrs

Flow? Maintenance schedule/routine? And have you tested the tds of your ro? You have excess nutrients from somewhere.
Edit: params?
 
What type of substrate do you have and what do you feed/how often.

Cyano comes from one thing, poor water quality. Though you are testing 0 nitrates and phosphates, the cyano is consuming it. I have a patch in my tank and test out at 0 as well.
Try cutting back on the amount of food you are feeding as well, only enough for the fish to eat in a short amount of time. I'm cutting cubes of mysis in half to help with my water quality.
Have you tried adjusting the flow or adding another powerhead to aid with the issue?
