CO2 at night

Hi,
I messed up reprogramming the timer linked to CO2 solenoid valve last night and this morning I have realized CO2 was running all night. Fish show no stress! My water has very high KH, so it helps, but does it also mean that I could safely increase CO2 dosing during the day?
 
Probably, but I wouldn't up CO2 just because you can without stressing the fish, IMHO it should only be done if your plants are showing any signs of CO2-defficiency. The more CO2 you give the plants, the more they will like it (as Ceg says: it's an addiction!), the more they will want, and respond negatively should the CO2 drop for any reason.
 
A small follow-up. After that night, I never saw any RCS (I had about 20 of them), although Amano shrimp made it. Also most of the snails are gone. Not a good experience.
