We ahev to rebuild our indexes every night to keep an application running ok. Is there any danger in doing this so often?

I dunno just didn't know if it was a bad idea to reindex so often. One side effect I have noticed is 20 gig used in the log file each reindex meaning a very large file is shipped after the reindex.

index defrag is good. it will also take all the space it needs.
