Same here with an elite. But I mix it up and sometimes turn the vortecs to feed, but most of the time now,I don't. But it depends on what mode I have them in.
I also don't worry about the skimmer(ev120), because it basically has a built in governor(as I call it), but they are known to do this: when you place good in the tank, they basically don't skim for a while, but it always comes back!
And as for the food in the sump,I, now use new life floating pellets, which I use 1mm and 3mm, so the fish and inverts consume it quickly. That, that does go down our should I say up, goes into the fuge and the little critters consume it like candy.. But, no problems..
