Yes. It's the same as growing plants in a refugium for the purpose of feeding to the fish. The plants take stuff out, fish eat the stuff, digest and release the stuff, the plants take the stuff out....

I do this occasionally to release the pods back into the tank. You have to have a pretty mature screen to do it, or else the strands tend to break off. I did this a couple times at 6 to 8 weeks of growth no problem.
But if you have herbivores, they'll eat it, and the screen will out-compete algae growth in the tank from anything that breaks away.
