When was the last time you cleaned your filter(s). How often do you wipe the tank and what is your wc rountine on them? Also check the temp of tank.

Are you using straight RO water? You might clean your filters. Do you run any carbon?

Keep up with that routine they should start coming around. Just don't start medicating unless you know for sure what you are treating for.
