This can be from the dye in the fish food.

My skimmate changes slightly on the weeks I feed reef chili. Do you use anything like reef chili or roids to broadcast feed. Might be too much going directly into overflows.

I do feed reef chili mixed with oyster feast. I target feed with pumps off, turn mp10s on after 15 minutes then return after 20 or so. I am very stingy when feeding the corals and have not changed my routine.

I defrost frozen cubes on a towel to soak up any extras I don't want in the tank then mix with tank water and feed. I have never seen any discoloration in the water prior to feeding.

I got pink skimmate once from tiny red nudibranchs. I had found them a couple weeks prior and after researching found they ate the small red tube worms. They multiplied like crazy. Went to dump my skimmate and it was pink.... what the heck... Then realized the nudibranchs were all gone... The population had imploded and turned the skimmate pink. Not sure if this is what you are experiencing but seemed familiar. No problems came of it.[/QUOTE
I've never heard of that, pretty crazy. I haven't seen any nudibranchs in the tank.

If you've been doing a lot of fragging with soft corals it could be from the slime they produce. I have seen something like that on a tank I maintain when we fragged a bunch of pulsing Xenia in the tank.

Looks good enough to spread on a cracker

Are you running GFO?

I have been doing some fragging over the past several weeks but am done for a while so we'll see.

No young ones just a 16 year old that knows everything ;)
