where are the good tank dividers?

[PoopSmart]

I see people who have the tank dividers that are a white plastic wall and they have little square holes in them...WHERE DO YOU GET THESE?!?!?! What is that plastic called that they have? I would like to seperate my 75 to have half for my flowerhorn fry and half for my female red devil but I dont trust any of the thin plastic ones at the store...please help

Can u just get it at home depot? right now the little flowerhorn is in a 10 gallon but I just want him to have enough room to grow.

thanks

If you have fish...you should have a sheet or two of egg crate laying around. It's essential equipment in my book.

Especially with cichlids like FH.

egg crate? Just styrofoam? I have that diffuser stuff and I made one with landscaping stones to hold it in place and I buried the bottom under the sand, but It is kinda sketchy on the top as they didnt have any suction cups at all in the whole store.

For now it will be fine my stupid red devil is afraid of everything so I am sure it will just hide on its side of the tank anyway...the flowerhorn is very small, I have new life spectrum flowerhorn pellets and it wont even fit in its mouth.

Most of us call the light defuser material "egg crate"

By the way...

look around carefully at the home improvement places because they carry TWO types...at least most of them do. They look and work exactly the same except that one of them is 11.00 a sheet and the others 6.00... the more expencive stuff is found in the lighting section while the other stuff is usually a few isles over.

At lowes go to the ceiling tile section if its not in the lighting section.

it is not the styrofoam stuff you put on your bed just same name.. if the store people have no clue what you are talking about when you get there... Look up and say I want that stuff...lol then they seem to understand better

egg crates are perfect dividers. I found them in the lighting section

You can cut slits in the egg crate allowing small fish to pass between it whilst bigger fish cant get through the other half.
