EUREKA!!! I've solved the riddle!
BRS had changed the concentration of their calcium chloride. The older formula was 2 cups per 1 gal of water. The new formula is 2.5 cups per gal. I order it in 5 gal pails which I keep in the garage. From it, I fill a 1 gal pail which I use to mix the solution. Labour day weekend I spent up the lake and my tank sitter for some inexplicable reason switched this 1 gal pail with an older, formula one gal pail I was using for the frag tank in the basement. So, therefore when I made up new solution I was using 2.5 cups of the older, more concentrated calcium chloride instead of 2 cups and was unknowingly overdosing the last two weeks.

Good to hear you figured it out and that it was something "common sense" instead of being one of those stupid reef mysteries that will haunt you forever (I HATE those!!).

Yeah, I figured it had to be something with the dosing and not some voodoo curse or something. I still can't figure out why the tank sitter switched the pails though. I'll have to ask him when I see him. I only discovered it because I was looking for some clue and realized the older pail says: "Anhydrous Pellets" and the newer pail says "Crystalline Dihydrate".
