How many really use night mode on wavemaker?

How many of you guys truly use the night time feature on your wavemaker? It is the sole reason I got the wavemaker I got and now am wondering how important it really is

I’m running a test right now to see if it makes any difference in my system. I haven’t noticed any benefits yet with them on lower power at night. I have found my pH dropping more with less flow which may actually contribute sound evidence to the no night-mode school of thought.

I turn mine off for a few hours in the dead of night. Still have the return going, but powerheads are off. I've heard of some of the growers doing this and figured I'd give it a shot. Havent been doing it long enough to draw any conclusions (a few weeks) but we'll see where things are at in 6mos.

When I first switched to mp10's I used it but then I went away with work that meant I didn't get to use it. Something I noticed is that some of my corals don't seem to like night mode, when I use night mode my Duncan and torch both close up tight but when I don't they stay more open at night and seem happier. This is just my experience with it, I'm sure others will disagree which is fine.
My other thought when I stopped using it is that the ocean doesn't really stop at night, or not 80% like my mp10 do.
Personal experience other may vary

I turn my gyres down to 30% during dark period. They run 80-90% during daylight hours
