Tank Divider PlexiGlass

i have used same divider when i had some red bellies and it worked great

What kind of drill bit did you use?

great work

i used hole saw as it was for red belly Ps if you are doing it for smaller fish use a bit that you use for metal and just make more holes (allows for flow of water)

i know this is an old thread. but i just want to say that is an awesome diy plexi divider. ..... any updates on your tank/fish?

what drill/cutter did you use? every time i try to cut acrylic, i get cracks etc

 

[Murrayb]

Try to get a very sharp hole saw bit designed for metal rather than wood. Much of the cracking may be coming from the larger teeth used in the wood bits digging in and causing stress in the acrylic sheet. Another thing to take care of is the heat, it can be useful to use some cutting fluid to dissipate the heat created during drilling.

looks great, but how much did the plexiglass cost? cheaper to do egg crates...then again egg crates r ugly as hell

LOL I don't think it looks that bad. I love the flow of them compared to some other DIY tank dividers I've seem. Ive seem painted black and looks so much better but I like the white. I use them ONLY for breeding and separating my nice fry out.
