anyone??

Yes light needed, not necessarily from the sun... Just run the lights on it when ur tank lights are on lor... No guarantee wont die either cos other factors like nutrients, etc play a part too. If u have a sump light it up when ur DT lights are off can balance up ph a little too

Need to constantly trim too...

if you have a sump, best to grow it there. For me i on my cheato light 24/7.

nutrients must be sufficient for good growth , example : waste from fish poo poo

understand when reefers had biopellets running, cheato may not grow well as biopellet absorb nitrate faster
