the idea was not to spend much money


got a nice bright orange onion bag in my reef tank with cut up mushrooms growing underneath
as for strength they are stronger then a little fish ( stronger than old grandad to ,I just tried to break one lol) unless you pull an hole through the middle .

I use 6mm perspex which you can pick up cheap. Apparently round the back of Matalan stores is a whole stash of the stuff they chuck out!
Then measure, score with a stanley and insert. I have one for my Rio300 that doesn't need any fixing at all and another that I used silicone on.

for a quick divider i have just used a piece of glass longer than the tanks width a length of garden hose slit along the length and V cit so it fits around the corners of glass.slip glass in the slot and wedge in plase with something like a rock.a sprinkle of gravel along the bottom seals a small gap job done till i make something permenent!

The quickest and cheapest divider that I have ever used can be done for less than a pound.

Get yourself down to a good craft store (Hobby Craft stores up near me do the stuff), head for the cross stitch section and somewhere round there is some plastic sheeting which looks like the stuff people cross stitch in to but with slightly larger holes and made out of plastic obviously. The sheets are about a foot square, can be glued or stitched together and you can slide plastic doccument slides on to all four sides to make it rigid once cut to size, or simply put it in and let it be larger than the width of the tank and the pressure from the bending of the sheet should keep it in place (with suction cups anchoring the top/bottom if you so wish).

All for less than a quid, dependant on tank size
