After the tank is cleaned and clear, can you leave the pump and Light on as your primary filter?

I do. I put this product into the greenest water ever. It did take 10 days….but on the 10th day the tank was clear. All I do is wash the filter weekly.

how often should I replace filter?

Six months to a year replacement is fine. You can purchase some other filter material to fill it. Specialized filter wool will also be released soon

What is the wattage of the UV bulb?

The UV lamp it's 8W, you can purchase a 7W or 5W as a replacement bulb.
