Before I moved I had bad cyno as well and I got rid of it by decreasing photo period for 3-4 days also reduced feedings and increased my w/c's Also manual removal of cyno during w/c about 1 month later things were starting to look really good. never add chemicals if u don't have to I mean w/c do the same thing

chemicals work but are kind of a band-aid solution.....you need to figure out what the root of the problem is....... what size tank is it?.....how many fish?.....how much live rock?.......what do you feed?..... how often do you feed?.....if you feed a frozen food, do you melt then strain off dirty water or do you add the frozen to the tank?.....How old are your bulbs?.....all these things can be contributing factors.....

The cause of the problem was that I was on vacation and the auto feeders were over feeding for a month

I doubt it, not with phos at 0 and proper sump and skimming. The other suggestion would be to NOT stir up your sandbed to any depth.
