Depends- if you're feeding clams then you should dose phyto during the day b/c clams close up at night. Lots of lps and sps extend their polyps more at night, but from what I've heard lps and sps dont actually eat phyto, pretty much just clams. Most corals eat larger particles, phyto is very, very small plankton.
