Its bad to turn off you air pump in a planted aquarium unless you have a C02 system.
The reason is because when C02 is present the plants will produce oxygen in overdrive and the water will allow for both C02 and Oxygen at the same time.
If you turn off your air pump without C02, the fish will produce C02 however not enough for the plants to produce the levels of Oxygen required to keep the fish alive and the system will die?
The air pump should be on at night for both system because plants stop using C02 at night and require oxygen.
