About an hour ago one of our salt water tanks started turning purple (the water). Not sure what is causing this. No nitrites and nitrates. If anyone has any ideas as to what it is, thanks

If you have used PVC glue with it's PVC cleaner it can leach, also high levels of heavy metals like manganese can turn water purple if it comes in contact with chlorine or vitamin c
