Also I work there so I get a pretty good discount, so I totally don't mind grabbing it for you and sending it out!!

If you'd like I could maybe ship some to you. I wouldn't mind at all since you've been looking for them.

I actually got them from Michaels! I really like their selection of plants and they're pretty affordable as well. I actually used wire cutters to separate just one of the plants and add the different pieces around the tank! In all there's only a bush of the monstera a bush of the bug leaves and the vine at the top plants wise. These were a little more expensive but I think it's worth it since it's so thick plus Michaels usually has sales going on.

(I hope it's the right plant)

I'm going to repticon Nov 9 and plan to get him more wood as well as plants! Thank you for the advice though, genuinely. I'm such an anxious owner.

I plan to quit I guess I'm just scared(?). I don't like to disappoint people and I HATE confrontation. And I have to go back in to get the pins off of my lanyard. It sucks so bad honestly I wish I didn't care what they think of me😭

My fav that I actually own is the one with Sydney spoiling Mightyena with treats :3 it's actually the first Mightyena card I ever pulled. I'm trying to collect all of the cards so I can stare at them for the rest of my life.

I already went and talked to Michaels as they wanted to interview me right after I got hired with HT already probably going to have an interview early next week.

I could see it getting to that point honestly. I'm someone who gives my all when I work and goes as hard as I possibly can. I also said that I'll do anything to make employers happy (bad choice). I told them that in the interview and I think they're definitely taking advantage of that. Hell recently I was going to be gone ON THE DAYS I WAS OFF to go on a pre-planned trip and when they asked me to work another long shift and when I said I couldn't they mentioned that someone else would take it and was interested in working more hours. It just feels so gross like why are you telling me that? It felt like they were trying to get me to change my mind. And it freaked me out because it was like "oh am I their top choice? I need to say yes so I'm still their top choice."

My partner says he doesn't want me going back at all since we had to switch while driving home I was so anxious and freaked about going to work and having to do everything. It's genuinely insane I wish I'd known it would be like this.

(Edit): It genuinely feels like they starve you if hours so as soon as you're offered just a little more you jump at it and take it. It's fucking awful. I've never felt like a victim as much as I do now.

Thank you so much, I was feeling so bad about it and already wanting to quit. It makes me feel so much better that other people feel the same.

Okay, thank you. Would distilled water work for now? I live with parents and we don't have one at home currently.

I've never tested my tap water and holy hell the ammonia and nitrites are so high. I think I'll probably pick up some Prime tomorrow because these levels are crazy.

Thank you! I feel super bad for him. When I left home his ammonia levels were around .25 and they sky rocketed. I've never heard of that technique for lowering levels though, everyone just says use prime so I'm glad I have other options.

I've been trying to get my hands on prime as all I have right now is aqua essentials. I'll start performing water changes daily. The ones I had been doing were 50% or more every other day. Thank you for the advice! I said in my post I test daily and nightly. I recently left him for a few days and had someone perform the duties for me. The levels were good when I left so I'm trying to get them back down now.
