Here is the new tank.

And stand. I built it in about 3hrs. Needs paint and done. Divider will be cut and installed.

Might just use clear acrylic as I already have it. Anyone think clowns seeing other clowns is a bad idea? Should I go black divider?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Paint day. Painted the stand and decided to paint the tank back blue. I prefer not seeing the back side of my tank. Looks messy.

Looking great Patrick! I'm no clown expert but I think a black divider would be better. They will be fighting at the acrylic divider all day instead of cranking up the Barry White and getting down! Lol

Yea I agree. Was thinking about that. Might be stressful. Especially seeing the female Onyx I'm getting is a good size. And rumored to be a tad aggressive. She might not like her neighbors.

Looks like fun. Good luck in your quest for baby clowns

The acrylic has landed. $15 for my piece at Sabic. Will install it later.

keep in mind that plastic will expand significantly more than glass when heated, so if that plastic baffle is tight it will likely buckle once the water is heated.

There is about 1/8" gap on each side.
