I'm not sure mine would be big enough for your tank.
13.5" x 10.5" each divider (twin pack is £7.50 including postage)

you may get bigger sheet sizes in craft shops, otherwise have a hunt for penplax aquarium dividers. They do 3 sizes... smallest is 11.4" x11.4", biggest is 11.4" x 17.5"

i will have a proper measure of it tomorrow but think its around 30x30 cm that is so roughly 12"?

just googled the dimensions and its 13.8" x 11.8" so with my substrate (roughly an inch of sand) i may just get away with it, any ideas?

I think the plastic canvas/craft mesh from hobbycraft is best - allows good water flow and is cheap - about £2 per sheet. I support the edges with slide binders from Rymans or ebay

as long as you have the width you could lower water depth to adjust for divider height

measure the height you actually need then hun

gravel height and if no drip tray then you need preferably 1-2" clearance for divider abover waterline

with drip tray tight then up to 1" water line to tray is enough
