Tank Divider

[asudavew]

I was stuggling with suction cups, magnets, hot glue, etc...

I was trying to use a piece of 'eggcrate' with all of the above, to section off a section of my QT tank.

I found it difficult and annoying and I couldn't get any of the items to work well enough to keep the eggcrate in place.

So the other night I decided to build something "new", but I couldn't think of anything or a good way to do it... and then it hit me. I'm sure someone has done this before, but I couldn't find anything in the DIY section.


First I cut slots into 11" long pieces of 1" PVC using my table saw. The slots were just wide enough for a section of eggcrate to slide into.

I then drilled 2 holes in each piece of pipe and added suction cups. (leftovers from something...pump...gadget..)



I then stuck the pipes where I needed them.







Then I slid the eggcrate into the slots of the pipes.

Thats actually quite nice. Is the slot pinching or can you remove that divider with almost no effort now?

I can remove it with no effort.

It drove me crazy before trying to keep it in one spot. :headwalls::headwalls:
