Personally if i were you just go out and buy two separate enclosures so nothing else bad happens. Its a shame you have not learned from your first mistake, after all what if the "barrier" collapses and they see each other, one or both will get seriously injured and possibly killed.
You should not get more animals if you can not already care for the ones you have or do not have the space already. I may sound harsh but honestly these are not toys for a child to play with. These are living, breathing creatures with feelings just like us and that should be taken into account before purchase.

If your one dragon is already a foot and a half, how can your dad think it's OK for him to live in a 20 gallon? It's barely bigger than he is.I think that should be your priority right now since he's the largest.

The 20 gallon is great for the leopard gecko, but each dragon is eventually going to need their on 40 gal or larger tank. You just can't keep an 18" long lizard in a 20 gal tank.
I have my baby in a 40 gal breeder tank right now. He is only about 9 inches long, but based on how fast he is growing i can see that he will need a bigger area fully grown. We are currently in the process of gathering material to build our own 4'x2'x2' wood and glass enclosure.
Edit: just saw that your dad says no to bigger tanks. Maybe show him the various care sheets that talk about tank size?
