Are you using tap water for water change? If so that might be the cause of it

Did you check the water you use for wc? 

Is your tdo meter reading zero?

If you use tap water or even rodi water when tdo reading is more then 10

then you will have this type of problem

Cleaning crew or phos removal and nitrate removal all these are supporting

water to have clean pristine water.

It is still better to trackle your water source.

Ensure you are using tdo zero rodi or di water.
