Just a some quick questions...
If your rics are flourishing & splitting nicely in your current set up, would it be wise to change things?
What is your set up at the moment?
What skimmer are you currently running?
What else are you doing for nutrient export?
Why did you decide to change skimmers?
Are you having problems with your current set up with nutrient build up?
Not trying to grill you!
