TimB Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Heya guys,It's been a while I know, but I am setting up a new tank that I will possibly be dividing into 2, as I am considering keeping two types of shelldwellers that aren't exactly meant to get along together. Also I want the tank divider to be temporary.I have never divided a tank, so basically I need to know all there is to know, i.e. what do i use as a barrier, do I use my canister filter as I normally would etc.Any advice would be greatly appreciated,Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likoma Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Hey there Tim,You could use a high density foam that works as a Hamburg Matten Filter. Filtration and divider in one. Just use your canister to drive the system. No dramas.This filter technique is all we use in our facility. We have just been away for a month and had the house sitters running the hatchery with not a single noticeable death in juvies or adults.We are offering free shipping on all orders this month poretfoam.com to celebrate our using purely Poret filter foam for 5 years. We guarantee the stuff for 5years and the guarantee will go up as long as our initial pieces are still in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Ok cheers. I'll certainly look into this if I ever need to divide a tank in the future.Regards,Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
