Morphine Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Hey, Recently went out looking for something to divide my tank, I couldn't really find anywhere I tried walmart, rona, Ctire looking and still nothing. Anyone know where they would have something that would work preferably inexpensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-man Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Home depot carries white plastic egg crate! I think its 2'x4'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I have used eggcrate (white plastic light diffusors) many times. I usually cut a piece of hose the hight of the divider, and slice it down one side. Stuff the divider into the split side of the hose, and it will wedge right into the tank, and only the toughest fish can move it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-man Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Forgot to mention not to use it if you have Stingrays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLake Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Thats a good idea Jason! you are the MacGyver of the fish world! The only time i used a divider was to protect fry. Hahah they kept getting thru the tiny gap against the glass. My inventions werent so clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Honestly, it's not my idea - I'm pretty sure I picked it up in the DIY forum on MFK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I spend an hour or so on the DIY forums of MFK and CF about once a month - I've discovered some nice AC filter Mods, there too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Woot again, I went into homedepot today and asked where they keep the egg crates and the guy looked at me like I was lost. All in all it home and cut it and placed it into the tank walk out of the room came back to watch my fish squeezing through the smal holes... Ugh.. lol I am using them to protect fry I'm just going to have to switch my tanks around, how I need another tank. Thanks again guys!

jvision Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I'm not sure if your tank is small enough, but you might be able to do the same kind of thing, using needle-point boards. Check out the craft section of Wal-Mart, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettaFishMommy Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 and to keep the needlepoint board in place, slit a piece of airline tubing and run it up the side of the board to keep it in place. same idea as the hose with the eggcrate.
