do you use a protein skimmer? i had this problem as well, and after hooking up the protein skimmer, it cleared up in a matter of hours...

Do you dose your tank?If so and your using calcium or a calcium buffer then it could be a "snowstorm".Comes from really high calcium readings.Other than that I don't have clue.
