I did have a cyano outbreak 4 to 5 mounts ago and used cyano X to get rid of it, It worked. Since then I up graded from Kessil 160 to Kessil 360x with 55% reflectors, and a Octo HOB 2000 protein skimmer. That picture is directly under the light were it is growing

I don’t think it is the light but others may correct me on that. I have cyano outbreak when the water parameters change quickly like I dose too much nitrate in one go.
I have seen people say similar with large water changes or incorrect dosing when the balance is broken of elements causing bacterial instability
