Wifey clean around the tank maybe spray something over it? Kids throw anything in it?
I know your an experienced reefer but I have a hard time seeing salt do that.

Oh, salt can do that, but it's not usually isolated. It was either Kent or IO a few years ago that had massive alk levels and wiped out crap loads of tanks, just like this.

Have you mixed a fresh gallon of IO salt water to test what exactly is wrong with it?
