Blue magus mini Q skimmer in bio balls chamber

[Vanlife-reefer]

Is it ok to have the skimmer in the same chamber as bio balls? I’m worrying it will be skimming beneficial bacteria.

This is my setup

Yea that's fine. The pros probably outweigh the cons

Thanks bud. What are the cons?

The theoretical skimming of beneficial things.

The bioballs shouldnt matter however if you like them, that bacteria stays on the surface of those and isn't in the water. Supposedly
