    cyano?

    Carbon will do nothing for cyno, but will become a nitrate trap, and leach it back into your system. Water changes, lest food RO/DI water more water flow is the way to go.

    Removing Cyano

    Blowing it will just spread it around. You can try to vacume it, but it will most likely return. Change your water flow rate, you may have areas that have little, or no flow. Cut back on feeding. Do 20% water changes, weekly, with RO/DI water, never tap water, find out why you have cyno.

    algea on my sand bed

    It sounds like cynobacteria. Snails will not eat it. You may be over feeding, cut back to every other day. how is you flow rate? Add more flow with small powerheads. Use only ROO/DI water. It's getting fed from somewhere, find the problem and fix it.

    cyano?

    You may have some dead zone flow areas, try adding some small powerheads, and cut back on feeding. Its getting food from some where. 20% water change once a week will also help.
