pinkish red in sand bed

[nunch]

i gotta pinkish red color forming in some spots under sand bed. not on top but maybe 1/4" down all the way to bottom that i can see from glass. normal? is it only where sand meets glass or do you think it's through-out bed? cause i can't tell by moving sand around, i can only see it in front and from sides.

I have it in my tank, but only up against the tank glass, when i poke the sand over a bit its not deeper, just think its a bit of coraline algae forming on glass...

i would hope so but don't think so. it's only under sand bed, and goes right away if i move sand around.

Cyanos form in all sand beds.. Nature of the beast. Its a good think according the the Dr. And don't un-cap it by moving the sand around,

I'm already getting them in a tank that is only 6-7 weeks old. It's a good sign, especially if they start showing up in different colors.
