advice on splitting a tank

[chrisjefc]

i have a 4 ft long tank and was wanting to trade it in for 2 2ft tanks but was wondering is it safe to partision the 4ft tank into 2 smaller tanks by placing a piece of glass down the middle of it

so my questions are

is it safe

and

is it hard to do

any advice would be welcome cheers

You can buy tank dividers ready made for the job. They are made of plastic and come in various sizes to fit different tanks pre-drilled with holes to let the water flow through. The advantage of this is that you don't need 2 filters and 2 heaters, if you put in a solid piece of glass, you'll need to buy additional equipment. They look really good and come complete with fittings and instructions.

Only problem is, they are hard to get hold of, the ones I have seen are by a company called Penn Plax (or something similar). The odds are unlikely but if you live anywhere near Manchester, UK, a shop called Oasis sells them, they are based in Salford.

Hope this helps
