Water Turing pink

[Hunterpearson]

I have a 125 gallon aquarium and recently the ph dropped so I added about 5 pounds of crushed coral to help raise it. I woke up this morning and the water has a pinkish rink to it. Is this a side effect of the coral? A bacterial bloom?

Th tank has been running for two years and there are no pink decorations or gravel in it. The tap water is also clear.

I’d imagine it’s from the crushed coral. Water changes should help to fix it.

Ok thank you

I'd do a big water change and add some carbon...

I washed my crushed coral for an hour before I added it, and it was still cloudy when I first put it in. It cleared pretty quickly though.
