I had that on my tank before but it was under the light just above the water. I did a NitrAte test and it was 80ppm for me so I did a water change. I think I was over feeding and the waste built up and caused the spike.

Could be because your over feeding and you think its gone because the fish search for food but I am sure it is not all gone and then rots in there.

I usually do a water change once a week or every 2 weeks now, I used to wait a month but that was to long for me. I do a gravel cleaning once a month.
