Yes, perhaps.

I think ideally, you'd have the fuge 1st, then post skimmer.

Good current, microbubbles in the fuge is still great though.
So having a wet/dry or a Berlin with a filter sock 1st, then right in that area, a refuge/live rock etc, then a skimmer would get the most out of both.

That would give good gas/micro bubbles and maxmimize the seaweeds for 1st chance at the nutrients before the skimmer gets them.

But a lot of things pass by the fuge and the skimmer a number of times unless you have a really large fuge or skimmer.
