cyano is usually caused by nutrients (IMO) ,some claim its imported from other tanks and is carried in with live rock or corals,water flow inside the tank should help displace some nurients from dead spots that can be found in corners,behind rocks,plumbing etc.
powerheads can help deal with cyano but it isnt the cure,some have had success with less to no lights on for periods of time
you dont mention what size korilia you have

I got a couple of Evo 1400 and 750s for available.  Let me know if interested.

But pulp is right.  How old is tr tank and what is your current method of getting rid of nutrients in the system.  Bio pellets, chaeto, gfo, etc

Cyano I have also found comes around a lot easier at the tail end of the bulbs life cycle. Are you running T5 HO bulbs? I would look at replacing the bulbs if they are more than 6-8 months old. The spectrum in the bulbs begins to shift causing cyano to grow easier.

20 a piece I guess. :) im not sure which is the 1400 and which is the 750 as the stickers are gone off them lol.  Could probably figure it out though.  I'll dig them up tomorrow. I cleaned them and put them away about a month ago and they worked fine.

I think the best Korallia placement is either mixing salt in a bucket or in the Garbage Can, Buy a pump that pushes water, The WP25 is a great pump and cheap, lots of water movement.

I got three power heads.  Koralia 750 or 1400s.  I am guessing there is 2 750 and 1 1400 in the mix.  One of them is missing the little rubber thing that keeps the pump from starting in reverse.

Let me know.
