120 Gal Aquarium (24"H x 24"W x 48"L)
Middle piece will have porthole cut in center to allow fish to travel between each side and allow waterflow.

Filtration
Aquarium Lifeguard Filtration (100G) on each side of tank to assure good filtration due to the split tank setup.

Substrate/Plants
Thinking of going with a finer substrate (little larger then sand). Would like to have live plants as well w/ some various rocks.

Ideas
Possibly setup so I can cover the porthole to allow one side to be used as a spawning tank or fry tank unsure on this yet.

use a plexiglass middle piece ,glue in runners on the tank walls, so you can remove the separator at any time.

For the porthole, glue runners there and taper them in a bit and cut the 'hole cover' to fit. You can insert or remove the cover easily that way.

Also recommend moving to Technical TInkering
Good Luck !


The Amazon Nut...

Thank you for moving -- i could probably read a little more carefully before posting. Would i be better using 1/2" -- or will the center brace (will be fused w/ acrylic cement like the edges) be enough to support the water?
