    Use a tooth brush! Worked for me! :) If it gets too serious, get a BRS GFO Reactor! That will do the job nicely! :)

    do a small water change. Save the water you drain from the tank in a bucket. Remove the rock and scrub in the bucket of tank water. Replace the rock.

    This wont mess with the "live" part of the rock but will remove the cyano.

    LOL, I missed saints fan 420s comment. It sounded like you were saying it got covered in cyano... I'm happy not to explain why the toothbrush isn't working though :p

    I'll give you a hint, cyano doesn't stick well to anything ;)
