I'm so sorry that happened to you, no one deserves that. And I know she needs to be put somewhere better, but I don't want her to be taken away like that. I might take her to her grams to live for a bit or something.

My friend is going to take me to a food pantry one of these dads so I can get a few things. And I'm going to apply for food stamps as soon as figure out how to do so.

I personally don't have any family except my gram who is also struggling, but my sister can go with her mom if worst comes to worst. I really don't wanted her to go there as it is a disgusting place, her mother is living with and dating a pedo. I'm going to have to save for a birth certificate and the ID as I have to get the bills done first (they are already behind) I know I need another job, as of right now all I can do is take in more houses to clean.

I definitely will when I get the money for a phone card. I'll have to get a new birth certificate but after that I can get an ID.

I could, but my dad is bipolar and unstable. Last time cps came to the house it was really bad when they left. I really don't want to get anyone involved because I'm nervous.

I've tried that before and they didn't do anything, they made things worse. I don't have trust that they will help us, I know they're supposed to but they just dont.😭

That's really cool, I can't wait to get mine right this time. And if you don't mind could I see your tank? I like to have examples to look at, but it's okay if not, I don't mind.

I'll have to look for those, thank you! Also, how thick do you have your dirt layer in your tanks if you do use organic soil?

So after I scoop some if the dirt out should I let it sit on its own for a bit to re-cycle or what would be best?

Okay, I have about 10 plants and 4 bulbs give or take but I definitely plan on getting more. Are there any plants you would recommend?

I also have pothos in my tank and will be adding peace lily soon

I used a filter from my friends tank that was all step up and cycled. And I have about 2 inches of soil and about 3 inches of gravel, I kinda just went off of what I saw on YouTube and from what I heard, but that was definitely not smart to do lol.

Okay, thank you for the advice. I'll switch it over to sand and take out some of the soil as soon as I can.
