tank dividers are quite expensive and, quite frankly, pretty crappy. if i were you, i would try a DIY tank divider... i'm sure there's a DIY guide to them somewhere on this site...

Go to a craft shop buy some plastic canvas and then go to an office stationers and buy the book binders (look like slides that slip on the edge of the pages) edges, you will then need some aquatic sealant to glue the binders onto the side of the tanks, cut the plastic canvas to size. Leave the sealant to go off overnight and than slide the canvas into place .. fill your tank and there you have it.

Total cost should be -

Canvas - 12 sheets for £5
Binder edges - £1 for 8
Sealant - £5/6

You can multiple tanks with this lot, I have and do.

Joby has a good idea on making dividers and it doesnt include any silicone

And it looks like:

Very easy to make and looks great (i think).

Uhm.. yeah you could try making them.
I think if you want to make about 3 it's cheaper than buying them.

But if you want to divide up a ten gallon, you can get some dividers at petsmart for around 5 or 6 dollars each.
