If you don't have any fish or shrimp it doesn't make any difference whether or not you shut off the CO2 at night, other than the CO2 usage, and the time to reach maximum CO2 in the water each morning. I think the goal of this exercise is to teach you what the tank looks like when you are absolutely sure you have plenty of CO2 in it. That makes it much easier to recognize when you don't.
