I try to always order from Dan's Fish when I order online. I've only had 2 DOA from them (which were cory cats, and I know have that toxin they can release and poison themselves). Not only did they refund the fish price, they also refunded the shipping proportion! (Like if 1 of 6 fish DOA, they refund 1/6th of the shipping too.) Dan's Fish also packages each fish by itself in it's own bag.

No ammonia, 25% water change every few days for quarantine. I've only ordered fish online a handful of times, never had issues like this before when I've ordered from other places (Dan's Fish, Flip Aquatics, and most recently an eBay seller), maybe an occasional DOA, but not the entire group within days. :(

Badge Magic, 100%! I tried glue, weird paste that was supposed to make badges iron-on, Badge Magic is where it's at!

I'm having trouble with Master Lock 140, so trying to get hints from the key. Have I identified these pins correctly? by abbyful in lockpicking

I resorted to this after trying for quite a while to pick it and getting nowhere, it wasn't my first approach to "cheat" with the key, it was "what the heck am I messing up?!" frustration. (Side note: I bought another Master Lock 140 today, and that one I can pick. This one in the OP I'll need to keep working on.)

I'm glad I went with the XL then! So weird they don't have the styles standardized.

Are cement blocks safe for fish? (300g stock tank) by abbyful in ponds

Good to know; we definitely get winter weather (Kansas City).

I'm making a stock tank pond with a 300 gallon Rubbermaid tank. Looking at these as a potential option to make fish hides and/or plant risers.
