    It's probably from the oils and fats in the food. When Maast made fish food a while back mine would skim crazy afterwards. We used a lot of stuff similar to what tuan just made.

    I have a couple of thoughts. First, it depends what coral you want to keep. If you're going for SPS you're going to want a beefy oversized skimmer. If you're going for softies, you could get by with less. The other option could be to run your skimmer throughout the day and not constantly. From looking at your skimmate, it looks like it's doing great.
