Dividing a 5 gal

[Irish Dancing Man]

I just got a rectangular 5 gallon. How can I divide it??

Just make a divider, it's easy. All you need is aquarium sealant, some plastic knitting mesh from a craft store and plastic spines you use for report covers. These you can sometimes find at wal-mart but you may have to go to an office suppy store. There are threads on here on how to make them.

You can divide it once, down the center short ways. If you get a 10 gallon, you can divide by four, with two dividers.

Check for the tutorial but be warned: its not as easy as it looks. You can also pick up a premade divider at most pet stores for about or under $10. I personally recommend this, as you are spending not much less after DIYing it- the sealant alone will run you about $4-5 dollars, atop about $3+ for the other supplies.

Just a thought.
