I do have good LR/LS and a decent protein skimmer
this does not sound like a filtration issue...this sounds like your calcium supplement precipitated out of solution...this usually means your Magnesium is painfully low...or that your calcium is way too high, and beyond the saturation levels of the tanks water...

what are you parameters at? i would verify them with a second set of tests..or a LFS...

hold off on supplements and stabilize your water...water change is definately in order...check your fresh salt water too as this may be what is making your levels out...
