the ones i found are painted metal though so not too sure if they would be alright. if not i can get the binder things but as i have to go out of town for them i thought i'd ask.

Hi
Its not those that you need. If you are looking for the binders that you can use to silicone to the sides of the tank, then these are what you're looking for -

i can get them at a store about 20 mins away so will end up cheaper than if i ordered them. had another thought though, i have some stiff airline tubing. could i make a slit down one side and silicone it to the tank? with a slit in it it will hold the mesh i tried it with a small piece. and it isnt nearly as flexibe as regular airline. hehe trying to use things i have if i can so as not to spend any money that i dont have to. would that work/be safe?

thats what im not sure about. but im thinking that i can always scrape the silicone off if it doesnt and redo it with the report binder spines. if i use a thicker line of silicone it just might work.


edit: how is terry doing did he get better?

so i made the dividers with the tubing and it worked!! my 10 gal is now divided:) i reinforced the tubing after the silicone dried with some more silicone along the sides of it just to be safe, but it was holding!

thanks aly! im glad that it worked so well. i wasnt too sure if it would. i cant wait till it finishes curing so i can get the gravel and water in. then all i will have to do is make my caves and get a couple of plants and ill be ready for my first betta!!! i cant wait! i already stuffed my community filter full with the sponges and ceramics for the betta tank so that it will be nice and mature when i get the boys:)
