tank is still very new. You should have 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite. you want as little as possible phosphate. do you use RO/DI water? Do you run carbon or GFO? How often do you do water changes? How much flow is in the tank?
As long as you have nutrients to feed the cyano, you will be hard-pressed to ever get rid of it.
