Couple Mangrove questions...

Just got 3 to place in my refugium. I've been lighting my fuge 24/7 but now assume I should go for a reverse light cycle from my tank. Am I correct in assuming the mangroves won't like 24/7 light?

I'm running 1 65w 67k pc over my 20 gallon fuge...should be enough right? I can add a second if it's needed...the lights are 1 ft over the fuge & about 10" above the top of the mangroves.

Anything I can do to make sure they start rooting well? I lighting tied them to some porous holes in live rock. Will that be suitable or should I tie them to a different material?

Thanks...
 
The rock, sand anything will do and the light is fine. They dont do well if you move them or mess with them at all. Plant them and forget moving them again. Spray fresh water on the leafs daily :D
