The data we have seen says no - even if most of the water is aerobic, the anaerobic waste materials are killers of the other good guys, AND the anaerobic bacteria seem to have a search and destroy mission when it comes to beneficial fungi.
Protozoa being spun past the anaerobic zones are killed as well, so maybe you don't take them ALL out, but you drop the numbers. Not good when you need nutrient cycling.
