It ended up coming from the decor. Removed promptly. Maybe you should try cleaning out your filters, not just changing the medium. You know, a good ol fashioned scrub down. As long as your fish aren't feeling out of it, I see no reason for alarm, I guess, though pink water does look sort of wierd. |

My filter suck it in and it now turn my filter media, which use to be white, and now its bright pink. Check your media and try washing it out.
