Cirulation question

I was wondering if its best to have the power heads shut down at night, my filter and skimmer would still be going.

No, it makes zero sense to do that, you need gas exchange just as much at night, if not more. The ocean does not shut down at night, your tank should not either.

Didn't think so but I thought I saw someone mention it on another thread here.

People do dumb things all of the time, you did right to question it.
