Even if nutrients are high, dosing and scrubbing would lower them, and eventually the dosing would slow the scrubber down. But as long as the scrubber is growing black, dosing would probably help.
You don't have to run a skimmer with dosing unless you really want to lower nutrients; the increase bacteria and microbes just get eaten by the corals.
