Hi all, going to post the question here as i know i will get a quicker response from you guys/gals. I need to get a divider for my tank. As fellow ray keepers i am sure you can appreciate the fact that the size of the divider required means it will not be readily available off the shelf. Any of you peeps make your own dividers? If so how and what materails do you use. I have made one before out of perspex/acrylic but it was small and only covered a 2 feet by 2 feet corner of the tank. I have no acrylic left so was wondering what other materials i could use. I want to be able to split the tank in half width ways so needs to be 4 feet long. Any help, ideas and suggestions welcomed.
Thanks

Hi Scott. Yes i see this on other posts but this stuff is both not cheap or easy to get hold of in the UK. I find i have to travel to specialist aquarium shops to get it. I was after maybe somekind of netting that i can wrap around pipework, then dismantle and put away when not in use.
Light diffusers cut to size with side snips held in place with magnets or suction cups.

I've used PVC, gutter guard, and zip ties.

get some egg crates overlap them get some 25 mm square plastic conduit b&q if you put 2 egg crates together press the conduit on to them top and bottom and you can make any size you want hold them in place with alge and tank diver suction cups find them on ebay ps love the hybrid
