If your nitrates are now high and they are usualy near 0, this means that probably your ammonia went really high for a while and then was converted to nitrates.

I ran skimmer less for close to a year without any issues. Since I'm moving my tank towards being more SPS oriented I have since switched to skimming and it makes a HUGE difference.
