New tank syndrome -- Cyano?

Is cyano normal in a tank that is just getting started? Tank is cycled, has lights, snails, crabs, pods, and has been that way for about 2 weeks. I've got some diatom action, some other algae going in the main tank, but nothing bad and the Trochus are mowing through it.

But I've got a patch of cyano in my fuge (under a "Melev fuge light", for the chaeto). Should I work on flow, reducing light cycle, and other normal routes for eliminating cyano, or is this something that should balance out as the tank balances (i.e., like diatoms)?
