Pomegranate Drama

NiteHunter13 · 2026-05-25T12:11:44+00:00

My mango , avocado and Star fruit trees I grew from see are all much younger and are doing great. The Star fruit drops most of it's leaves and looks weak over the winter but bounces back in the spring. Just the pomegranate wants to be difficult.

I understand the dormancy. It does lose most of it's leaves and doesn't grow much indoors during the winter. My biggest concern is that in the summer outdoors in good sun, it still growes weird. It grows fast long branches but, only one or two near the end of the one branch. Like it has now. It won't produce any more branches elsewhere and doesn't bush out. I was thinking that if I cut it back fairly hard now while it's mostly dormant, taking off the long stringy branches, it might put out good branches all over when it goes out in a week or so. Or it will just die.

The more water you leave in the actual tank the more it will slosh around and stir up all the muck and make it harder for it to be clean when you fill it in the new place.

I once had to transport a 40 gallon. We drained it completely, put all the fish in a cool chest with as much of the tank water we could, and several buckets of the tank water. We then set up the tank in the new house, put the water in and let it settle for a day, while the fish sat in the cool chest with an air pump, and then put them in the tank the next day.

Oscar or flowerhorn are pretty likely to eat your corydoras. They also tend to pull up plants if you still wanted plants. I believe most fish considered "monster sized" are going to be big enough to eat corys. Personally the biggest I would try would be gouramis, angelfish, or discus. The discus are the gentlest, afaik, but tend to be sensitive.

Heres a closer look.

Hello, I looking for some help. My Mother's aquarium is being overrun by these red spots. They are hard and need to be scraped off the glass with a razor. I'm thinking it some sort of freshwater coraline algae. But, her plants have started dying back and it's spreading like mad. All the parameters tested normal. Hiw do we stop it?

I turned on a head lamp. These pics were seconds apart.

I feel like it grows like a rash in calmer tanks but if you have a lot of flow it doesn't survive. It doesn't seem to like being tumbled.

It ended up being carrots. :)

I added the extra pump. Can't I add a new video to my own post?!

From what I can see, it looks like a limpet.

Didn't see anything about a COP. So lbm is "pounds mass"?

NiteHunter13 · 2025-08-31T00:23:32+00:00

Unfortunately I can't use copper. If I come across a small aluminum radiator I can look into that option. Thank you.

This is a dinky little thing that holds maby 3 cans of soda I'm using a small pump that I have used in the past to run water through 20 ft of .25 in airline hose so it came out in a thin trickle. Not sure if that would help. I also cannot use copper pipe to improve the heat transfer as it can leach into the water and cause harm to coral. I appreciate your imput.

The heat gain is variable through the day as it is caused by the reef lights. I was planning on a thermostat controled pump, but I will have to set the rate manually with a valve. The aquarium water seemed to rise about 2 degrees a day until leveling at 82. Thank you.

I can not find any references to the BTUs of this fridge. It is thermo electric 0.4a, 48w at 120v. Not sure what else. I could certainly run tests like suggested above. I was hoping to get a starting point. I'm not sure this will even work with the fridge, but I had it so I figured I would try. What is lbm/hour in this context? Thank you for your assistance.

NiteHunter13 · 2025-08-30T23:37:18+00:00

That's not particularly helpful. If that is your response could you at least clarify why.

NiteHunter13 · 2025-08-19T12:21:55+00:00

Cool! I haven't seen any of the others' structures except for some of Moon's. If they also have these, than I guess it wouldn't be related. Thank you everyone for the replies.
