I'm skeptical that there's any age limit to when a tank needs a skimmer.
I certainly agree that some tanks do without skimmers. If you have one, I'd say run it as much as is convenient. Having the skimmer providing aeration at night, when you might see the lowest oxygen levels, sounds good to me, but obviously, if it disturbed my sleeping, I'd turn it off.
