Cyanobacteria disappearing on its own- any reason why?

Hi, I have had a few weeks of tank neglect due to being away, and tank neglect was a bit poor prior to this also.
- So, algae issues. .. But remedy isn't the problem. Strangely, it is/ has disappeared on its own.

Symptoms were; front of aquarium glass and floor caked in different algae.
- Green Dust Algae
- A bit of staghorn
- Thread alage
- Hair alage
- But LOADS of blue-green algae/ cyanonbacteria.

* Aquarium dosed heavily (prior to two weeks ago), and high Co2 injection consistently.
- 180l Juwel aquarium.

My question isn't how to deal with the problem, this is fine.
Loads of Pond snails appeared earlier this week- they ate pretty much all of the algae on the glass (so this is expected..). I'm thinking of putting some YoYo-loaches in there temporarily to sort this problem..

* But my question is however; why is all the blue/ green cyanobacteria disappearing on its own? I wasn't expecting this as I'm pretty much sure its inedible? Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks
