Salt water tanks are notoriously difficult to setup and are VERY VERY VERY high maintenance.
Did you use tap water to fill your other tanks? Did you test the PH? It would be expensive, and a lot of work but you might try changing the water from tap water to distilled water, making sure the water is free from any extraneous chemicals that might be in the tap water and causing problems.
Been using tap water all along. This is just a sudden onset of problems that has vanished as quickly as it arrived. The water in Plano is actually very good, and it's well treated with lots of anti-chemical chemicals before it's placed into the tanks. Were there problems with the water, I would expect them to manifest shortly after a water change, not well into the adjusted water period.
