Do you feed? how often? What are your water parameters? Dosing? tank size? To help you should post your numbers. This will help to understand your tank

Not sure about the pinkish, maybe coraline algae?

Tank is fairly new. Waterbox 45.2
I have only used grotech KH buffer once. As you can see on july 16, the dosing instructions on the box did not go as my planed - 1dkh rise. I feed, mysis and brine shrimp every other day aswell as the «shrimp juice» also reef roids every other week.

Phosphates look a little low. IMO my acans do better in water with a little more phosphates.
 
I hold mine around .02 ppm. I also ran into low phosphates problems. I would suggest feeding a little more to bring them up.
