Refuge lighting period with chaeto

I personally light my refuge in a reverse cycle to my DT

Is 24/7 lighting beneficial with chaeto? I know this method is necessary with some macro algae to keep it from going asexual, but is there a benefit with chaeto. Do you get more nutrient export?

Just wondering
