20L devided mantis tank

I'm starting 20L mantis tank. I want to do a false wall and devide the tank so I can have 2 mantis in the tank. My question is how do you guys think I can do this? Like the depth of the back chamber and stuff. I was thinking of going like 3-4in for the rear chamber. For the devider it will be able to flow water through it but not let the mantis get through. I will have a skimmer in the back and a fuge. I will run 2 65w CFs and I will keep zoos and stuff like that. Any thoughts or opinions would be great.

Thanks

Might want to check out this tank I am building. A 15L with the last 8" sectioned off for a fuge...power compact lighting for now as well.

Well Carl, I never did figure out how to post jpegs here.

That piece was one of many that I ordered, but I would say that that piece was something like $10-15 all cut up. I had to add the slot to hold the mesh and the hole for the bulkhead. I ordered from firstclassaquatics.com

Tank dividers

IME you wont need to use the metal clips, it holds pretty firmly on its own.
