test your RO water n get the results....i dont think it was came from the RO water instead....maybe other sources....

Usually sounds like a tank thats not cycled fully.. Or something from a diff source was added

Are you being careful to match salinity, temperature and Ph in your exchange water? A 10% water change isn't too large, but a significant difference swing in any of the above could whack a fish. Water changes is the best way to correct an organic buildup problem the fastest and safest in my opinion.
