As long as your tank is established and is full of live rock and sand, there should be no spike. You rely mostly on rock and sand for filtering. Skimmer adds aeration and removes gunk but that gunk would hopefully be broken down safely by your rock if it wasn't for the skimmer. Skimmers are great for aerating water and removing proteins, keep it in if you can.
