Skimmer not producing

[F4u-SuperCorsair]

Skimmer stopped producing waist for the past 3 days but I still have 10 nitrates. Do you think my tank could be that clean? 150g tank with a 100g refuge.

There isn’t a correlation between foam production and nitrate production. The aquarium might be less sudsy or something is killing the foam. Oils or fats in fish food can stop foaming

What are you feeding? Dosing anything? Fatty foods or adding an additive to the food like garlic, vitamins extra always immediately kills the foam head on my skimmer and it wont start skimming again for 24hrs.
