The oily thing could be waste building up, make sure your skimmer is providing sufficient skimming.

skimmer is working fine producing alot of smelly foam .....can the oil come from puting your hand in the tank

will carbon clean the oil up? what about the different colors in DSB? Normal?

I guess, if you did not shower for few months, or use alot of lotion. If the skimmer is going insane, that usually means that something might be in the water. As for the first question, you mean you have algea growing between glass and the sand? Its pretty annoying, but some snails get some of it out.

skimmer is working normal.....the sand bed has a pinkish red color down in the bed.

It's just refracted light that is shining down into the sand against the glass. It's normal.
