This is what I had to do after my last dose of chemi pure.
I replaced by volume 75% of tank water over 3 changes and the skimmer wouldnt settle down until then.

any idea why my rocks are turning form a nice purple to a poop brown?

My guess would be diatoms, and that underlying problem that has yet to be figured out....

Not sure if you have been doing a really good gravel wash yet but I would do that. Also, you are probably going through a mini cycle due to using an antibiotic and dips in your oxygen levels.
