That is ingenious. I need to split some 20's for some small crayfish and I was going to use a big block of foam. I probably will still because I'm feeling lazy but yours is amazing!

I got the acrylic for free & also had a few tubes of silicone lying around. The only out of pocket was the foam. While not as easy as just using foam, I think the end result is more appealing. And if you are going to do it, it's much easier when you don't have the tank in use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJake Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 I know this is an older thread but I've been considering a similar configuration and wanted to check up on how it's holding up. I'm a big fan of 40B tanks (have 3) but I do know they bow a little bit. When attaching this acrylic or glass to the sides/bottom my concern would be that this bowing would pull it apart over time. Have you (or anyone else with a similar setup) seen any evidence of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chan011 Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 How are you connecting the air tubes to each section? I’m looking at doing something like this for my next tank since I have one Eheim pro 4 filter and woild ideally like to use the same filter in the new tank if i can. Thanks. Love the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the idea I drilled a hole (using a step bit, in reverse) into the foam that was a little smaller than the 3/4" PVC and shoved it through. The foam is sturdy enough to hold them up. Using a canister filter you will need to attempt to rig something up to PVC fittings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
