not so sure if that's really describing Cyano...

Cyano is ez, it exists b/c any of 3 things: High Nutrients in your water, wrong spectrum of lighting (bad bulbs), and low flow areas are more susceptible to it.

I have had cyano in my tank mostly since I set it up, I would do blackout 3-4 days and get rid of it and it would slowly come back over a month or 2. Not so great water quality partially contributed to it, but when I got new ATI bulbs I watched most of it go away :Cheers:
 
Brown tint on the rocks sounds like diatoms. Green algae on the rocks is not cyano, it sounds like green hair algae.

Are you using tap water?
