Use a turkey baster and see if any of that purple/pink color washes off.
Could possibly be the start of cyano. Not that it is, just a possibility.
My only comment would be watch the nitrates. The corals are probably responding to the added nutrients being left in the water that the skimmer was removing. Glad to hear you are seeing immediate and positive responses.
How much bigger is your skimmer rated over the size of your tank?

People come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. |
