Having a well-established tank can make adding fish quite challenging. We had some acrylic available and decided to build a divider. After a few years of use, we are happy to say that it has been a complete game changer. We added multiple fish, including tangs, and experienced zero casualties due to fish aggression. The divider also provides safety for new additions, and feeding them has become a breeze.

Thanks for sharing this! Haven't thought of doing a tank divider before
 
I need to make one. Do you ever see any fish run into it during aggression?
 
I've got one Firefish but he never leaves a small area in front of his hole. Thanks for the info.
 
would cyanoacrylate glue hold two pieces of acrylic together like that? ideally i dont want to have to grab a ton of jb weld just for 1 seam that doesnt need to be water tight or structural
