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

Base on my experience, i never though chaeto can go asexual. I never see any difference when i go 24/7 vs 18/7 on my chaeto in term of nitrate reduction. But i notice some of chaeto brown out after a while if i go 24/7
