Dividing a tank.. HELPPPPPPPPPP

Peter McFarlane · Jun 26, 2008

Hey Guys

I have a tank that I want to divide into 4 sections.

It's usually my main, "show tank", but I' want to use it for a breeding project for a while.

I'm looking for ideas on how to divide my tank into sections.

1-It's only going to be for a year or so. So I don't want to use glass or silicone or anything that will leave permanent damage.

2- It's important that the water flows through each section as I'm running a sump setup.

3- Limited budget so cheaper the better.

Thanks Guys

i used a lid from a rubber maid container. i drilled holes so water would flow. i trimmed the plastic a little wider then the tank so it fit snug. its sturdy enough for the size fish i have.

plastic "egg crate" from home depot. 2 x 4 sheets in the lighting dept used to direct flourecent lighting. about $12.00 a sheet easy to cut with wire cutters 1/4" holes for easy water flow. I have been using it for years will fit tight if cut correctly.

Agreed, can't beat eggcrate for the price. Cut to size and your ready to go. If you don't like the white color, you can paint it with some of that black fusion paint.
