I do use ro water and its about 2 months old. 5 fish should be 6 not sure if 1 died or not. Havent seen it but there are lots of hiding spots.
 
Five fish in a two month old tank is a lot, could still be in the cycle.

When was the last time you tested your parameters?

Looks like cyano bacteria to me. Its an airborne bacteria. Everybody get it to some extent. Water changes and nutrient export are the biggest factors. I'm battling it right now. It cycles here in the Willamette valley in Oregon. I've been a little lax on my water changes. It won't hurt anything till it get so bad that it smothers your corals.
