Lynn, you probably have some critters in your tank that are called foraminiferans. Little pink animals that form a reddish calcium based skeleton. In natural areas that have high concentrations of these, the beach sand can actually look pink from the skeletons breaking down. Ipso facto........the pink sand that you have s/b natural.
