A skimmer won't change nitrate levels that quickly. In fact, it won't actually change levels at all. It is there to remove organics before they add to nitrate and phosphate levels. If your nitrates are actually undetectable but you have high phosphate I'd focus on the phosphate. Need to get those two in a balance for the natural processes to work best.
