Photoperiod for chaeto

How long should I leave my fuge light on...just added chaeto like 2 weeks ago, and I have been running it 24 hours, but what's ideal.

Ideal is to provide it with a dark period. Something like 14 on 10 off. It doesnt need to be that particular.

I recently switched my fuge to a reverse light cycle after I was able to borrow a PH meter and observed how much swing my PH had.
