Any ideas how to divide a tank?

[steve b]

So I have 5 30gal 24x18x18 tanks on a sump system. Any ideas how to divide them in two. Got flow in from the left and exit on the right. Did think of sponge but can't source 18x24 size.

Thanks but I didn't mention that I want to use it as seperate tanks with no access for fish/fry to the other side.

Jehmco sells coarse/medium/fine bulk foam sheets that you can cut to size: https://www.jehmco.com/html/hydro-sp...ilterFoamSheet

If you don't need anything that thick or don't want to cut it down in thickness, there are other places that sell bulk filter foam such as Swiss Tropicals: https://www.swisstropicals.com/filtr...ret-foam-shop/

Steve,
you can easily join 2 pieces of sponge pads with a bead of aquarium silicone and a few pieces of rigid airline tube.Cut the airline tube into 4 " pieces. insert into the edge of one sponge about 2 inches. Run silicone bead along edge. then splice in the other sponge and let dry. I do this alot here as I hate waste. works great.

Do you have Amazon available in the UK Steve? If yes you may find aquarium safe foam there.

I also use the egg crate and a screen door replacement screen. For Discus fry, I wrap the screen around the egg crate a few times around.

Amazon divider, I don't know if the openings are small enough.
