I just noticed these pink strips at the bottom of the tank. Any idea what these are?

Maybe Coralline algae......
Under the substrate? plus I set up this tank only a few days ago... Doubt its coralline... But would be glad if it is. Does it grow that fast?
 
I’m my tanks I have coralline algae at the sand surface and a tad below. Maybe from ambient lighting... idk.but you are right. It wouldn’t grow that fast. Sorry I missed that the tank is only a few days old. :rolleyes:
 
Ah ok, thanks...
 
Hard to tell, but is it on the silicone only? Also did you use concentrated bleach to clean it? Sometimes that can discolor silicone.
 
Didn't use any chemicals to clean the tank... only rinsed with the garden hose.
I'll take a closer look at home later on in the evening to see if it is purely on the silicone...
