Greg,
The reason for having the export from the pellets infront of the skimmer intake is for 2 reasons:
1.) The pellets do depleat the water of oxygen, so the skimmer re-oxygenizez the water
2.) To remove any excess that the pellets do create, anything not removed becomes food for the coral.
I hope this helps.
