I've watch about 8 -10 different types of videos on tank dividers, Yours is the best so far & best of all I had everything I needed to make this project. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Sharon from Australia

Love this idea! I've been looking all over the internet for dividers and didn't like the selection and there wasn't many selection at all. So far yours is the best I've seen on youtube! I'm definitely gonna try this!

Thank you so much. This was the perfect solution for separating 2 of my smallest Discus from the size up. They were having a difficult time trying to get food. This really helped.

Thanks for sharing. I think your idea is really simple and great for what its supposed to do. Thanks!

Simple and easy way MIKE...way to go..Thanks for sharing valuable info

Great divider. Thanks for sharing. Awesome

Omg...so smart!!! Perfect for what I need! Thank you!

Thank you!!!!! Also cabinet liner costs $1 at the dollar store.

I didn't think about that. Great idea! I'm gonna have to try that.

Great idea! I'm either going to build one of these or buy a large piece of filter foam.

Good video, and nice fish behind you!

What a great idea at a rock bottom cheap price. Very cool and simple video.

Brilliant Mike! Saved me 12$ was about to buy a Penn Plaxx divider for my cherry shrimp. Thanks a bunch

WOW that is incredible!

Very informative Mike... Cool idea! Say, I'm a bit worried about the toxicity of this material. I know you've used it for many months so that's a proof point, but have you read anything about any "out gassing" or long term effects on the aquarium environment? I know some of the plastics people recommend for dividers are definitely bad for the aquarium environment.

Really genius idea.

You could probably tie java moss to them as well ...have a java moss wall for nitrate removal and to make fish feel like they are hiding behind a plant...

awesome job, I made mine today and it works like a charm. any issues with fish trying to eat the screening. I am using it on my tilapia breeding tank to keep babies away from adults.

Looking for a divider to keep fry away from other fish, this looks great but worry that the step down off the 45 elbow and pipe might be too much gap, and idea on getting it tight to the walls? Maybe a folded up extra piece of the black material? Hopefully that makes sense

Dude that is awesome thank you so much :-)

amazing idea man going add to a flower Horn tank as about to breed f2 kafma

that pretty cool thanks for showing us

Great Job!!!

do you have to boil the netting stuff before using in the tanks or is it safe to use straight away

This one I really, really like better than the egg crate divider. My Cichlids are still 1-2" and I need to separate one from the others while I'm out of town. Thanks a lot! Namaste.

So much better than the report binder ideas! Thanks so so much. I'm hoping to use black utility cargo netting from Joann Fabrics. 100% polyester. I'm not sure what's safe for fish & frogs. I have a 15" wide bowfront that I couldn't find any dividers for. DIY is always better.

Have you used these with any parent raising pairs? I really like the divider but suspect if I used it with a parent raising pair the fry would be able to make it across to the other side. I'm wondering if you've had any experience using these with parent raisers or only with pairs where you pull the eggs.

Hey Mike great channel. What about using the plastic canvas. You can get it at Wal-Mart and any hobby store? I have used it for a lot o things.

Hey dude great video could you link the items needed? E.g. the length of pvc and the material.

Can you provide a link to the mesh product you were using? I haven't had much luck finding it on my own.

hey mike can you tell us ideal water conditions for angel fish for breeding and just growing

What are you using for filtration? I see your air stones. This material; the holes look like the new free swimmers could get thru the holes. Do you have that problem? When do you remove the young from their parents? Would appreciate your time in answering. Thank you!

great video thank you for your time.

I'm just wondering when it comes to breeding Bolivian rams I don't have to go this far extent do I because I was thinking would the mash do just fine with a couple of suction cups

nice work! fabric stores often carry nylon mesh netting or polyester cargo netting which might be cheaper and have less chemicals, i'm doing something very similar for a DIY turtle basking dock

Can i use this to divide my shrimps tank, is this will hold the fry aswell?

Is it safe for the fish How do we know that black stuff is not going to give off a chemical that will kill a fish or make your tank cloudy

Cheers mate great idea; )

Is the black stuff made from plastic or material type 🤔 please ,❤I love this idea so much ! Greatly🎉 appreciate 🎉🎉

What's the measurements.....I have an idea for a 55 I would like to try it in

What materials and dimensions? Also, where did you get your breeding slates?

Super cool bro

Like many of the other viewers, (& as an amateur fish hobbiest) I am hesitant to put this material in my fish tank. So I decided to do some research. Apparently if you Google "what material are non-skid drawer liners made out of?" it just shows you ones you can buy. The closest thing I found was they are made of "Plastic. Woven and texturized. Porous." So I'm guessing it might be okay, but the porous aspect of it could encourage algae, bacteria, etc. so it may need to be monitored. Hope it helps.

Can fry get through the holes

what dimensions did you use for the frame? i too have a 55 and wanna separate some fry

How can this construction be cleaned BETWEEN the "walls" (from algae, debris etc)? Don't U have to unwrapp the mesh from the frame in order to clean it somehow?

I won't get stuff wrapped after a while for being in the water

Have you made these for a 75gal? Just wondering if the materials come in a big enough size. 18x21"

What a great idea , thanks ! Oh and you angels are amazing , I'm planning on starting to breed them , any tips ? :)

I'm thinking about getting a second axolotl. I know that an axolotl is not a fish, but do you think that this could this same divider idea work for an axolotl tank?

Really helpful

thank you for u help I make my for my Oscars great job and easy 😃.

What's the mesh like after being subdued in water over a long period of time? Does it break apart and become a problem for fish as they may mistake it for food ? Would a plastic mesh last longer maybe ?

thanks mate will speak to pet shop about what's best to use I liked a subscribe pal

Has this cabinet lining material proven to be quite aquarium safe? How long has it been?

subbed great video

Is this the product that kind of feels like foam? I think I've seen shelf liner in Walmart like this, or maybe it's a different product? Thanks for the video, I just discovered two of my angels are paired up and laying eggs but ate them due to the other angels in the tank..least that's what I assume happened. Anyhow this video will help me immensely.

I'm making some dividers for my 25 gallon tank and was wondering what the mesh material is called.

but the only thing is the panel I don't fine that want can u tell me where can I get it.

Still have not got the answer if this material gives off chemicals that hurts the fish in the water still nothing

you could stuff java moss inside

was going to get rid of my oscar because he was biting my shark twice his size !!! and seen this going to have a go tomorrow can I paint the pipe black mate ?

Would this work for bettas?

cool bro

What's the dish material called?

nice man! I just bought 1 and they lil ones keep gettn through the edges. how do I know what is safe for the tank? chemically.

The material is on amazon - www.amazon.com/Duck-281876-Non-Adhesive-20-Inch-24-Feet/dp/B00C2LMKTO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494881528&sr=8-1&keywords=duck+brand+281876

Run a pipe air stone through the divider

I feel like a dummy, as I bought 2 dividers for $50.00. Thanks Mike. I just found your site today. grrrrrrrrr

The angels are so curious.

I get this mesh at the dollar store...more than enough to make this for $1.00!

I use zip ties from Lowes.. Those zip ties once you make your connection if you just twist the end of the zip tie it should break off right at the connection there is no sharp edge at all (instead of cutting the end off, just twist it at the connection). Just an F.Y.I. that I have learned along the way.

This is also a great idea if you don't have a pump so you can put a UV filter and to get rid of bacteria.. I'm going to use this in a 10 gallon tank put the UV light behind it against one of the side walls so it will kill the bacteria in the tank and they won't hurt the fish..
