How long has your tank been running? How long have you had cyano in the tank? How often do you do regular water changes? What kind of filter are you using( brand/model)?
I used to use phosguard but now ive switched to chemipure blue which has purigen and gfo. I havent tried phosban but ive heard good reviews and Phosguard hasnt failed me. Ive switched to chemipure blue and havent looked back; my tank is crystal clear.
Skimmers are good but a bit expensive and excessive for a 10 gallon tank as they only remove excess nutrients in the tank which your corals intake. Regular water changes should remove the phosphates once the cyano is gone.
A gfo reactor is one of the best ways to remove phosphates in the tank as it forces water through all of the gfo, unlike a filter that pushes water over some of the media.
Ultimately, I would recommend an algae reactor or an algae scrubber. Its the best form of nutrient export (nitrite,nitrate,phosphate) from a tank if you cant get a refugium, and you wont have algae blooms in the tank.
