Double tank? #1
I currently have 2 tanks one with platys in and another with a goldfish in.

I’m looking to buy quite a big tank like 150L but I’m wanting to split it in half to create two tanks in one.

Has anyone ever tried this before?
What have you used to create this? Glass in the middle or plastic with holes for water to pass through.

Any advice would be great!

I had one external filter on it with the outlet one side of the divider and return on the other.

Separated angelfish and their fry from the rest of the tank's inhabitants.
