I was told that I have cyano have been fighting it for two weeks now by blowing my rock and sand bed off everyday and dosing cyano clean in conjuction with coral snow I think the cyano is going away slowly but everytime I blow the newly formed top layer of cyano everyday I still have this long stringy stuff after is that cyano still? Or please don't tell me green hair algae is coming back too

I appears to be an alien planet with a Windex atmosphere. Green hair aglae and possibly dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria are indigenous.

Pretty confident on the GHA and cyano. Looks like there might be something else going on but too hard to tell from those photos.

I think you have all three going on. I would tackle the dinos first if so. Only way to know for sure what to do next is microscopy. Without some photos under a microscope any advice is just a SWAG.
