I usually have nitrates in my tanks as well although it is slowly going down as I have been feeding quite a bit less.
Basically good skimming, water changes (I do at least 25% in all my tanks bi-weekly) and less feeding. Personally I prefer to skim fairly wet as this seems to help.
Also when you are doing a water change really baste the hell out of your live rock and follow behind your baster with the suction hose to help get some of the crap that gets caught in your rock out of there.
