It wasn't as efficient as it used to be so I cleaned the pump out and the airline, now the water it's skimming is pink? Possible coralline algae from the inside of the unit?
 
Coraline would be my guess cleaning it possibly weekend the coraline to the point some is being skimmed

That's what I was thinking too.. Thank you! Skimmer is a rockstar now lol, nice and quiet and producing a lot more bubbles now that some Colonista snails and caked on algae and detritus buildup have been removed from the impeller and airline lol...
