Has anyone used an acrylic divider to partion off a section of the tank. We are installing a 1200gl tank. I want to replicate the look natural look when you scuba dive or snorkel. Reef in a 1/3 of the tank, then gradual rock drop off to open sand bottom. Thus, having the reef in the right 1/3, then the partion, and finally adding a little bit to rock on the other side of the acrylic to give the effect of the reef drop off. The goal is to keep non-reef safe fish in the open 2/3's and the coral safe on the other side.

Sounds like it would be a great idea -

I would think it would detract from the look with a divider in the tank. But it's possible to do. Would you have holes in it for water circulation from one side to the other? What about the extra bio-load from the bigger fish? Big fish, big eaters, big poopers :D
Or would you seperate the tank entirely and run two systems? Don't forget pictures when you are finished and up and running.





good luck :D
