Yes, if you want to use your refugium to attempt to control pH swings.

No, because pH stability isn't the one purpose of a refugium. Macroalgaes also provide phosphate scrubbing, and allow microorganisms a peaceful, seperage "refuge" to grow and mature before entering the main tank and becoming food.
