Tank Separator Question

[Jon Fleck]

Have seriously been toying with the idea of converting an existing 40 gallon breeder tank into a clownfish tank and would like to use a divider to allow to two sets of mated pairs in the tank.
Has anyone utilized a acrylic divider to achieve something of this order?
I have seen some vendors who have existing "stock" separators however, my tank has an existing internal overflow to accommodate which can be modified if that is the last resort.
Could black egg crate suffice which would lend itself to optimum flow?
Any and all input/suggestions are appreciated and welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
Jon

Lol 40 gallons is a lot for two pairs. But ya you can use abs or acrylic (BLACK) do not use egg crate or anything clear. They will try and fight and will just cause a large amount of stress.

This.

Just make sure you add slits/teeth to the top and bottom of the divider to allow maximum flow. Just make sure the gaps aren't too big where the fish can see each other.
