Cyano is fed by an excess of nutrients in the water i.e. NH3, NO2, NO3, PO4s etc. The oxygen bubbles are a dead giveaway to the cyano.
Diatoms produce a brown slimy growth. They are fed mainly by silicate. A phosphate remover will help fight it off.
Do you have a protein skimmer, and can you post your water parameters?
