Need advice ASAP

[jacknchloe]

I am wanting to divide my 5 gallon but would like to know what to use to make a divider. Also, the gallon was given to me by someone else and when I got it, it already has gravel in it. Can I use that gravel or do I need to get new gravel?

I know a lot of people make their own dividers, but I can't remember what they make them out of. Sorry! You could use the same gravel but make sure that you rinse it really well and under hot water.

Plastic canvas will work.

I found this online and it seems like a pretty good idea for homemade dividers:

Clean gravel thoroughly with hot water, I'd do it a couple times. I like to stir it around while rinsing it to make sure any particles underneath come out.
