I think it’s cyano. How can I get rid of it?

Looks like ugly phase in a new tank.

I’d get more snails in there for that green algae.
My guess is , food and poo are getting trapped there and rotting ,cyano loves that.
I’d first try blowing the cyano off with your turkey baster and hitting the algae with a tooth brush. Then let the snails do thier thing
