Would It Look STUPID To Use Rock To 'Divide' A 30" Wide 8' Tank (300 gals.) Into Two 4' Tanks (150 gals.) ??

Stick with me on this and tell me whether it is just too cRAzY:

Rather than purchase two (2) 150 gallon tanks-- let's say hypothetically to keep a large Angel in each-- If I got a 300 gallon tank (96" L x 30" W x 25" Tall) and wanted to use rocks to divide it to keep the fish apart, would it look s-t-u-p-i-d? Just like some people make a 'rock wall' ALONG the back, with some caves, couldn't I make a rock wall that ran FROM back-to-front, also with some caves on each fish's 'side' of the tank? I understand that any smaller fish could get through; I'm not worried about that. I would just like to have one giant sump managing the entire tank, rather than two full aquarium set-ups, and I really don't want to go the egg-crate/glass/acrylic divider route if I can just use rock and do something cool. Thoughts? Thanks, everyone

That’s a lot of rock. Obviously doable. But it would greatly reduce space in tank. But you could always change later if it doesn’t look good.

Sketch it out. To scale as best you can. A interesting concept...

doable.
don't use rock.
DIY with pvc and 2 part putty.
my 150 Tall. 48"L x 24"W x 30"D.

might need dedicated overflows and returns on each side.
