i use normal suction cups from the back of old filters on my tank they need adjusting every few months to keep tight but they hold off the attacks of a male from each side.

Here is what i use as a divider, i use an eggcrate... i simply cut the eggcrate to size for the tank, but i leave about 1/8 of an inch or what ever is needed on both the front and back end. I take a thick plastic tubing that is usually used as a return line to the tank. I cut it to about 6-10 inches (your choice). Then i cut ONLY one side of it so that it splits, then i just simply open that side and stick one side of the eggcrate in. Then i use another tubing for the other side. When i put the eggcrate in the tank with both the tubings on each side, i carefully push one end to the front and push the other end to the back untill the eggcrate is secure and stable and...... Walla! You got yourself an inexpensive aquarium divider!!

Unless you from Mars, any L.F.S. sells the backside portion of heaters. Ex:The Ebo-Jager suction cup works fine. Or, go to Home Depot and be creative.
