I have a 60 gallon tank that I need to divide for a couple of pairs of discus. The tank is about 24" high so I don't find a company that makes a divider to fit. I can make one myself with plastic mesh but haven't been able to find the plastic side rails that butt up against the sides of the tank. Any ideas where I might find them? I have tried the usual Lowes and Home Depot etc.

Would poster hanging tubes work?

Not sure what those are.

If your mess is reasonably rigid, cut so as to leave about 1mm clearance so it just fits. Then get some silicone air line, split it along one side with a hobby knife and push it onto the edge along the edge and bottom (better done as a single piece). Then just push the divider into position - the silcone should take up the space and make it a snug fit..
