Cant get Poret foam in Australia so I am trying to think of a way I can section off a couple of three foot tanks for breeding? I would like something that I can remove easily in case my needs change and I need more space.

Something that will allow water flow. Something low in cost :-)

I have access to netting and was thinking of a way to make a ridged frame work to hold the netting in place.

What can I use to make a frame to stretch/hold the netting tight? Has anyone ever done this before? Thinking of a rubber or silicon seal to make it tight.

Please help if you can as I do not know what materials I can use in a tank and not poison the fish,,,

Thanks

PVC pipe with a hose around it. Slit the hose and slide it on the frame. Your LFS probably also has dividers for your tank available.

hey Jeff

Do you mean stich the nettig to the PVC frame? I was thinking about making a frame out of pvc but it will have bends that will allow fry to swim under.

The tanks are 3x18x18

I would like to devise some kind of clamp that will hold the netting in place. I will use airline around the outside to hold the frame in place though.

thx
