First make sure you have some (on your rocks, on a drag plug, etc) and then when you have some, maintain proper alkalinity, calcium and mag levels.

Pretty much any light will grow it

Yep, just maintain the proper parameters and it will come. Eventually, you will get tired of it and hope it will stop growing.

Maintain your magnesium at 1350 or 1400 and have at least one rock with some coralline on it.
