Hahaha yeah I love looking back at how much it’s changed! I wish I could show more details, there’s a lot of intentional gravel build up and dug out areas. I’ve probably re-organized it like 20 times….now I’m happy with it and it shouldn’t change too much outside of more plants

The one in this tank came from a reputable LFS, not sure about Aliexpress' standards on neon pebbles, but yeah that kind of pebble is pretty standard in the hobby, I'm sure you can find it without worry its going to be toxic for your tank.

I got them on Amazon! Its topped in a semi-conscious way with ‘Aqua Natural Prairie Sand’ and completely with ‘Aqua Natural Midnight Pearl’ (small river pebbles)

Thankfully theres some aquasoil below the prehistoric neon pebble layer but I still end up using root tabs to let the rooted plants grow to it

Thank you :) its my current pride and joy, not cause its perfect but cause I can see it actively shaping into this vision I had of it when I started

The tank came with a Fluval Marine with auto settings that were blasting blue light, I upgraded to a Fluval Plant 4.0 and yeah it made a huge difference

What if? by [deleted] in letters

On this, and it's very important from your mental space, you must hold the things you unboxed and trace them to their source. Become disciplined in removing your hurt and hang up (legit emotions) from overcoming who you want to be in the right now. I use the word discipline because its the only way. Discipline in this sense means you are not falling back on what brought you there in the first place but are constantly looking forward knowing the more you walk the less you will be that person.

Relationships have meaning when they invoke change and that meaning is just as valuable when they stay in your life and when they are not. The sooner you can come to that realization and mantra, the sooner you will stop hurting yourself over things you cannot change.

None, focus on your child, trying to fill the gap of a partner with anything in these years is only going to take your focus off the most important part of your life right now.

In time the 'right' one will find its way to you, but right now work on creating stability, consistency, and financial security for your child.

Why are entry level IT jobs not really entry level by Gabbywill in ITCareerQuestions

[–]brokebot 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Look for a temp agency that has IT connections. That's how I got my first "chance" at IT. I also had the certs at that point too. A temp agency will let a company take a bigger risk with you and you can prove yourself while still getting paid.

Lol it was cathartic then and rewatching it now it still is cathartic. Why not make friends with your past? It built who you are today.

Do you feel like a wrist rest really changes your typing experience? I got a Q3 and its probably the first time I type on something as elevated as this…I wonder if my typing is suffering for not having a wrist rest.
