yes. I built a massive skimmer and then stopped using it and converted it to an air injector only.. basically, the head of the skimmer.

I did this because the organics it was removing was coral food that I needed to keep in the tank.

I would only take the skimmer offline if your scrubber is active and healthy. You can try turning it down to experiment.

Sequester means that the algae continues to grow and I don't remove it.
Recycle means that when I do remove any of it, I feed it back to my DT to turn it into poop = food for my corals.

If you have mechanical filtration, you're actively turning good organics into wasteful inorganics.

This is my experience.
