Diy acclimation tank divider

[Lionfish hunter]

Trying this out, makes sense that it will work. Gives the new fish time to establish the tank as their own and gives the old fish time to get use to the new guys. Acclimating a moorish idol and sailfin tang that have been in quarantine for 50 days.

I just bought a piece of acrylic from home depot and cut it to size with a razor blade. Used some suction cup dividers i found on amazon to hold in place. Less than 30 dollars. My tank is huge so buying a pre-made one was not possible.

I'll let you know how it works out.

How'd this work out for you? No holes drilled in the acrylic sheet? Can you link the suction cups? Considering this for my new 180, seems much better than even a large acclimation box. Adding all my desired tangs at once doesn't seem practical so I'm looking at other options, considering qt'ing 2 at a time and introducing in pairs. Thanks

They are all still getting along years later. I believe I did drill small holes in it.

The ones I bought are not available but this look similar.

I found the divider, no holes.

Really crazy to see the pictures I posted back when I made this post compared to what it is now.
