Yes, but the water doesn't flow around the world once per day 
If one was *really* worried about nutrients staying low 24/7, and it would have to be a very sensitive system to *really* need such a thing, then you would want to opt for a dual-scrubber system, where one was lit while the other was off. Either way, the algae needs dark time. You could even do a system with 2 screens in one slot tube with a gap between them and light blocking to separate the halves, and separate lighting, just as long as one side had all the light blocked.
