Make sure the current is close to the spot that have the problem. That
current will spread it to other area too. But the majority should end up
into the skimmer. You may also siphon any bulk area out.

Using Chem Clean should be your last option. Try not to use any chemical if
can preventing it.

FYI, at one point I had 4 powerheads in my 29g. I was able to later
remove those when I installed a closed loop on my tank.

If the cyano doesn't clear up over time - and it may take 3 weeks or
longer - a product called Chemi CLEAN will remove it in 24 hours. Most
LFS will have it in stock, behind the counter.

I'm going to side with Marc, (always a safe bet g) and recommend
you do a search for cyanobacterium in marine aquaria, and see if
everything fits.

Billy -
Siding with Marc? Humm.....

Joe Cool -
Cyanobacterium or any algae, the best combat tool is to have good flow
of current and good efficient Protein Skimmer that will export any
nutrient out of the tank. Good current flow and Protein Skimmer [combo]
will take care majority of the algae problem.
