This may not be the right forum but will start here because it has to do with seahorses.
I am zeroing in on how I want to do my one and only tank build. Due to limited space it will likely be a single tank of 72” if I can make this work...
I am considering dividing the tank with a black or obscure glass of about 1/4” thick so 2/3 is reef for fish and 1/3 for seahorses. I plan on keeping the two environments independent of each other. Alyssa from Seahorse Savvy cautioned me about the temperature difference.
i am wondering the following:
1. Have any of you done something similar, successfully, issues?
2. If I use 1/4” glass is that thick enough to separate the temperature differential?
3. If not would directing flow at the glass be sufficient to keep water circulating so it isn’t building up heat?
4. What about sandwiching two smaller panes with a thin layer of pond foam insulation?
Other thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated. Separate tanks is still a consideration however then I begin sacrificing volume to not exceed length.
