Tank divider

[Questiongurl]

Hi,
I'm contemplating getting a 220gal tank and using a divider to split it on half so I can have passive fish on one side and aggressive fish on the other with corals on both sides.
Any pros, cons, considerations or suggestions you can offer?

TIA,

Should be cool.... make sure flow can pass through. You won’t be able to throw a tang in, and say “hey this will be good, I have a big tank” because if your 6-7 foot tank is divided, it’s only a 3-3.5 foot long tank now...... so stocking changes on “swimmers” but water volume allows bigger bioload still
