Cloudy water like snow

[KyleC]

Noticed lots of fine white dust like particles floating in my water, like snow. Anyone any ideas? It's not microbubbles, been going on about 2 weeks or so. Fish and corals all seem happy, it's just an eyesore and never happened before.

Only dose AFR

Just tested:
Salinity - 1.025
Mag - 1500 (slowly bringing it down)
Calcium - 440
Alk - 8.5

I’ll start the guessing

Bacteria flock, e.g., when carbon dosing
Chemical precipitate e.g., dosing concentrated or very basic additives
Stirred up sand bed
