A controller will give you many more options then the pumps built in mode, but it all costs $$

There are no options a controller can provide that my VorTechs don't already include. Sometimes it's worthwhile to spend the extra $$s on a well designed water moving device. And yes, I use the night mode, not because of any possible relationship to what happens in the ocean, but more because it saves power, wear/tear on the pumps & things are a tad more quiet in the dining room over night..... but no, I don't sleep in the dining room.... usually.
