Cyano is not necessarily bad. LR can absorb or collect a lot of nitrates and phosphates. More likely the added rock simply supplied the nutrients needed. As usual, keep nitrates and phosphates down, and starve the cyano.

I don't recommend meds or additives to kill red slime. You'll simple exchange one unwanted algae for another.
