Best material use to as a separator

[CheshireVendetta]

Hi there I wanted advice on what I could use as a separator for a big 120 gallon tank to turn it in to two 60 gallons as I have two young beardies should it be plexiglass or normal glass or something else

I would use something opaque so they can't see eachother. Maybe a piece of wood or something like that.

I have a similar situation. I have a really long tank and realized I could put in two if I used divider.

If I used silicone to keep the wood in place, how long would I need to wait before adding a dragon? (in regards to smell and/or off-gassing)

If the partition is not going to be permanent, I'd use this : https://www.bunnings.com.au/scotch-cloth-duct-tape-black-48mm-x-54-8m_p1210193 to fix the partition in place while needed , will be very well held in place if the tank is glass sided

Been using it in lizard enclosures to hold cables in place and to create "heatslabs" and block the holes in the bases of tank furnishings for years …. never had an issue.

If the tank is timber sided : I'd simply using screws (and would predrill the holes to avoid splitting the partition) to hold the partition in place (if temporary).
