Over Skimming??

[inline6]

What do you guys think about this possibility.
My 58g is very heavily stocked (see FTS).
Since coming back from my vacation I had a slight nitrate problem which I fixed by doing aggressive water changing and skimming. Now I notice that most of my LPS corals always have their feeder tentacles out two minutes after feeding. I feed them again and 2 minutes later they're out again.

My skimmer is rated for 100g heavily stocked (ER RS 100).

Attached pictures show a rainbow acan colony right after feeding, 2nd acan pict is about 1 minute later and the last one is about 2 minutes later.
btw my candy canes started doing this also along w/just about every LPS I own.

Any ideas?

PS I messed up the order of the acan shots 2nd one is the last.

I don't think its overskimming, If so, then I would probably be very guilty of it. I have a lightly stocked 125G volume with a BM250 rated I think at 600 gallons.

But what I have noticed is that if they actually get fed food, over time, their tentacles come out longer and further after more and more days of feeding. If they just taste it in the water, thats why they come out, but retract because they aren't catching anything after the first few minutes so they go back in.

My Acans and cc's do it too, they are just trying to get food from the water column they look healthy. Keep it going, it doesn't look like anything is unhappy just hungry, if youo think you need o feed some more take some water and culture some live phyto and dose it when you see the tentacles out.
