no idea what they cost at YOUR store. they're easy to make ... basically cut them to size for your specific tank with a pruning shears or wire cutter or whatever. get some quality suction cups and place two on each side of the divider, top and bottom on each side of the divider to hold it in place. voila
You can take a narrow-nosed pliers and break out each piece along the line you want to "cut". That can work better than using a saw.
I just use wire cutters and cut to fit. Then run a sander along the edges to smoth them out. I then cut a peace of fiberglass screening to cover them with. Add a couple of suction cups and you have a devider fit for a King...Ok maybe not a king but an inmate.
Where can you buy the suction cups at? Will a large hardware store do? I bought the egg crate already..Thanks
Thanks, my LFS has the suction cups, now where can I buy zip ties at? Everytime, I ask a store, they have a blank look on their faces.
