Hi Drew,
Different light will bring out different colors in things. That's probably what you are seeing. Did the lr look the same at night with the moonlights?

yea, with or without the lights the pink is there. i was thinking maybe it was coraline algea growing which i guess is possible becasue the tank just recently finished cycling. but i don't know too much about that stuff.

The pink is coralline algae. You might see shades running from pink to purple.
