Id like to see the water. The rock could be giving off some color, but wouldn't think pink. You want to always keep the rock... it's one of the best filters.

Sorry about the delay in response. It looks like you have filter floss or something that's pink too? Could it be dye from that? That film looks like it's from the same thing making the pink water. That's strange. I'm not sure. And you're doing good water changes right? It might be the volcanic rock.

Regular lava rock like you'd buy at the big box stores contains a considerable amount of powdered material. If you didn't rinse it really good, it will turn your water pink.

The pink it's still in mysterious. IT gone after some times of water changes. I think it can come from Volcanic rock. Maybe volcanic absort it from meds i used before? I didn't use any pink meds.
My pads are for bacterial house. I dont know what extract name of them
