Leave it on & unplug it. Does it go back on when you plug it back in without touching the switch? Some of the older fixtures have to be turned on/off manually.

That's fine. It does make life easier with multiple tanks though.

Yes, you can train your fish to get used to being fed in a certain place. My dad used to tap on one corner before feeding & they'd all swim over to that corner.

ETA: If you buy it in a store, make sure it's refrigerated!
