skimmer shutdown
 
When ever I feed mysis I notice that my skimmer stops producing skimate even after rinsing the food several times.
Any solutions to this problem.

That is normal. You may even notice that when you have your hands in the tank it won't produce skum as much. It has to do with the oils from your skin. It happens to me also when I add certain supplements.

Thats common with any food I add, esp. mysis as you have mentioned. One strange observation, its much worse with a beckett than a needle wheel skimmer. Meaning the needle wheel is back making foam much sooner.
