Its normal. Do not worry, as long as you are using RO water, it will go away in a week or so.

I had it for the first month or so of setting up new tanks and it goes away after awhile. You may nodice it will get worse over the next week or so but then it will start to go away.

Excellent flow will help. See my sig. I have a 90 as well and never suffered with that. But I used cured rock which might have been the difference.
