Is it salt creep? If so, that's normal. It's an annoying part of saltwater aquariums is that the water will slash or spray up all over the place, and when it evaporates it leaves the salt behind. I clean up around my tank weekly, getting all the salt creep. It's really annoying.
I have never used AquaPlus in a saltwater aquarium, and it is not popular to use in saltwater (try Prime next time, much better product), and I know that some products even though they say they are ok for saltwater end up causing either extra foam in the skimmer or cloudiness.
If you have sand in your tank, and it was dry when you added it, it can take 2-3 weeks to settle out and become crystal clear. If you add live rock it will decrease the time significantly. It takes awhile for a microscopic bacerial coating to get around each grain of sand, and this holds the dust down.
Also, you should raise your sg to 1.026 as the reefs around the world average 1.0264.
