Do you have any live rock in your tank? Is there any coraline on it at all?

Sound to me like you have a water flow issue. You stated you have it around overflows etc. Coraline loves vigorous water flow. Try adding a bigger power head/pump somewhere in the tank and see what happens.

if you get your chemistry right you can't stop it and will look back fondly to the days your tank wasn't pink. alk=4.00 calcium =420 magnesium = 1360 water 78 degrees good flow. this is the formula for happy and healthy tanks. when you are here the pink will follow. good luck
