I also went through similar. It took me a while to get in under control but this is what I learned:
Staying on top of the water changes including vacuuming the cyano off the sand bed each time.
Replace your bulbs if they're old
Adding more flow (so nutrients cant settle on rocks and sand and are exported)
Adjusting the protein skimmer to run more 'wet'.
Adding more snails and a shrimp to the CUC to help eat any food my fish missed. Additionally, rinse the mysis in RODI water to remove the binders (algae fuel) and change feedings to every other day (or less).
Running Phosban or similar in the meantime to help keep phosphates in check so your husbandry habits will be more effective.
good luck
