Yes there is, but you need to determine why you have it. Tank info would be helpful.

it shows up much easier that it is to get rid of it, are you using RO/DI water? do you have a skimmer? do you have good flow? all those will be key to getting rid of that stuff.

Also adding on... what lighting do you have, and how long do you have it on per day?

and how old are your bulbs? ive read somewhere that a spectrum shift could possibly be a link to cyano blooms, but that goes back to the original, it has to be eating something, and that is a problem in itself.
