    Yea probably after one or two. The green needs a strong base to attach to, because it grows longer and gets pulled by the flow.

    Yes. You should feed liquid coral food though instead.

    Try some blended oysters. Any brand, like Oyster Feast.

    Yea that's not strong growth; looks like lack of light power. The bulbs are 25w, equivalent to about 120w?

    You are cleaning every week?
