It was a water change with water that was slightly higher salinity. I wonder if it is a bacterial bloom that let go from the sump? very unexpected. It's mostly cleared up now but I'll see if I can find some stragglers.

Slight salinity differences shouldn't have that sort of effect unless it's calc/alk concentrations were much higher. The precipitates do dissolve eventually.

Not sure if it would be bacteria if it showed up really fast, unless you were mucking about in the sump.
