Anyone used Drilled Perspex as a Devidor /Seperator?

[Ransom]

I have been searching for some eggcrate for ages in the uk but to no luck then i thought maybe Perspex if i drilled loads of small holes in it,

my plan is to turn a 4' tank into 4 seperate 12" sections and use perspex as the seperator

this is for breeding convicts,

i plan on using 1 canister filter (eheim 2026) that will point through the holes, and the sucking in pipe at the end,

right now i have no idea if this will work or even poison my fish so does anyone know if perspex is ok to use with fish ?


thanks

Should work , but have you tried looking at specailist pond shops ?, they normally have EggCrate ( well the couple of Pond shops i go too do , they sell it in the filter section ) .

or maybe the internet like Ebay could have it . But the drilled prespex should work as long as the holes are large enough to let the water though correctly .

It's also used in air conditioner ducting, so it's worth calling some aircon places too.

I found it at my LFS, but it was too expensive.

I'm using this stuff in the bottom of my tank, I guess it could be used as a divider. It's just plastic bathroom flooring. It joins together and can be cut easily.

I coudn't get egg crate at a reasonable price in Australia so I got a pair of cutlery drying trays and used them instead. They looked like this:

I have them upside down and I've cut a lot out of the vertical dividers so that water can flow around freely.

dude that flooring stuff is sick, would be great for a divider

I used the bottom of a plastic delivery tote from the local gas station. The kind with the interlocking lids. The bottoms are perforated like milk crates.
