Cheato and Amino Acids

[CMO]

Does Cheato release aminos while growing or only when it dies off? I originally let my cheato grow and die off with available nutrients but that became a messy affair and clogged my power heads and reactor. With regular trimming and nitrate dosing I'm thinking I can keep a nice clean fuge with constantly growing Cheato; but, am I losing any positive byproducts (aminos) by not letting it go through the natural grow / die off cycle?

Should I dose aminos if I'm not letting the cheato ever die off partially?

Thanks
