Fish Room Tour - Pro Guppy Breeder - Bob Crouse

Here's Bob at the Aquatic Experience in Schaumburg, IL Finally I have Guppies Months I ago I reached out to the head of the Guppy Associates International Chicago to find a guppy breeder from my area. It was imperative to me to start with quality stock accustomed to my existing tap water parameters. After a few emails Bob was able to guide my tank to meet his parameters. Once cycled I reached out to take a trip to his Fish Room! In addition to guppies, Bob breeds Bristlenose Plecos as well; I picked up an albino juvenile. Here he's grabbing the reverse trio of multi's that I selected to take home. Bob said he's mostly known for his work with Greens & Blues. Thanks Bob! More to come from my own tank; Stay Tuned!

The Hex Build - Stand - Part 1

Building the Stand Turns out the internal angles of a Hexagon are 120 degrees. This leads to a 60 degree cut for each piece. via GIPHY Both my table saw and miter box can cut at a 30 degree angle. Basically keep in mind that every cut at 30 degrees leaves a 60 degree cut on one of the pieces. After a ton of planning my brother and I started cutting. I used 2x8's that I had in stock. First cut two 8' board into 3 pieces - 6 @ 32" for the legs Then ripped them down the middle - 12 @ 32" Set the table saw at 30 degrees, ripped each leg, kept the 60 degree side
