Default Maxijets at night

I have a 120 and the way I have it set up, when the lights go out at
night, all pumps shut off except for the sump recirculation pump. Should
I be keeping some more circulation going at night with the Maxijets?
This is a reef tank, some corals, 2 elegant Anemones, some LR, a few
small fish, a cleaner shrimp and one clam.

Thank you,
Austin

Are you having any problems as a result of doing it this way?

Hmm...Does the ocean turn off at night? eg

We have had algae problems in the past, but they were caused by other
events. I just wondered what do most people do? Well, yeah, my ocean
does. Is that your final answer?

Humm when I dive at night it just seems that the ocean dies down or is it a
moon thing?

Yes you should keep most of your circulation going, you could reduce it
slightly at night but not much,( the ocean doesn't shut down at night
!! ), a 120 gal. reef tank should have a total circulation of 1800 to
2400 gals. per hour preferable 2400, you say some live rock, how much
is some ? you should have at least 180 lbs, the rule of thumb is 1.5 to
2 pounds per gallon depending on the porosity of the rock.
regards,
unclenorm.
