No, but you don’t need an actual second co2 scrubber, just need a jar or something to run the line from the skimmer into and then a second line out and to the scrubber so any excess moisure is trapped in the bottom of the catch container. Just make sure it’s a tight seal around the lines so it’s not leaking any outside air in.

You don't want the moisture to actually touch the media, and by moisture I mean actual liquid, not the small amount of condensate.

I used a copepod jar to catch liquid before my scrubber because I carbon dose and have bubbles that won't pop, after a day they will build up liquid in the line from my skimmer.

I just upgraded to this.

Hydronix HX-HF3-5CLWH12 5" Housing Rib Cap for RO & Filtration Systems, 1/2" Ports, 1 Count (Pack of 1), Clear/White https://a.co/d/3QKCsRc

Had to get fittings to go from the threaded to barbed for the tubing.

A moisture trap may not be necessary at all for you if you don't have liquid ocasionally going into your lines from recirculation.
