Feeding stops Skimmer
I feed a combination of Formula Flake foods and frozen PE Mysis. Whenever I feed the Mysis, the Skimmer stops producing bubbles. Is this normal? Is this going to be a problem for the SPS?

yup its normal. Oils from food will stop skimmers for up to a few hours.

Yep that's why I have my standby 1 on my RKE set up to shutdown my return pump and skimmer for 1/2 hour while feeding.
