A skimmer an fuge won't change the need for water changes at regular intervals. Maybe that's why you have nitrate, cause again, the reading should be 0.
Good luck.

well i went from about 10ppm nitrates a month ago, to it being 0ppm nitrates.
and the only thing i changed was i added cheato, increased flow in refugium and keep the lights on for 22hours a day.
no water change in that time and the nitrates magically dropped
