Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
How big does a piece of Aus Sinularia need to be to have a chance to make another coral? I have a piece that's at most .5 inch that got broken off of my bigger piece. I glued it to a rock and put it in the pico but I'm not sure if it's big enough to maybe make it. Just curious on everyone's thoughts.
A single polyp.
 
I don't know why, but I see a lot but in only one direction, what do you guys think if she buy a nozzle that gives random flow
I'm thinking the flow will be more random as livestock is added. The problem with an RFG is they need a fair amount of flow through them before they work right.

Typically I put mine in a small plastic container with rock rubble and set it in low flow until it attaches to a piece of rock and then mount it, I have never glued it. That small one in my tank from minimal amount of tissue that was left.
I didn't think about doing it that way! I will try to remember that the next time I have a tiny piece and do that instead of glue.
 
If I end up needing it do you think this one would be ok?

I doubt you need it. The one you selected might work. I don't remember the size of your new tank but this pumps minimum output is probably around 650-700 gph so if your tank is 10 gallons this pump would turn over the tank 65-70/hour minimum. That's fairly robust for a tank with softies/LPS in it.
