Chemiclean is pretty effective on cyano from my experience. A round of treatment and then increase flow in tank and some water changes. You can cut back your lighting too. In the long term, you want to find a way to export more nutrients and limit the source of nutrients going in to keep the cyano from coming back.
How often do you remove cheato in the fuge? This exports nutrients correct?

I remove it as it gets overgrown. I currently have a very small fuge area and an under powered light so mine doesn't grow very fast. To increase the amount of nutrient consumption you could try increasing the volume of algae in fuge if you have the space. If you run the gfo in a reactor it will be more efficient. And keep an eye on skimmer so it's tuned and running efficiently. It'll take a multifaceted approach to beat the outbreak.
