if your airpump is below the aquarium, water can syphon back through the airline into your pump and damage it, u should put a non-return valve in the airline to prevent this. If the airpump is above the aquarium u don't need to worry about this. Stopping the air pump at night could lower your pH, but I don't know anything about your water chemistry, so i can't say for sure. but softer water would be more affected by turning off the airpump than harder water would be.
