does anyone make their own tank dividers from arcylic sheets? if so how do you go about cutting them, special router bit or table saw blade? i have both those tools but feel the rpm speed would melt the plastic as i cut it. does anyone have suggestions?

Plastic canvas you can get works wonders if your fish are big enough. Super cheap and can be cut with just scissors. I use it in two of my tanks. If you make them a little too big so that they bow when you put them in the tank they stay pretty tight and don't have any problems. If you would like a picture let me know!

You can cut arcylic the same way you cut glass. Lay it on a flat surface and score it with a sharp utilty knife, it will snap off were you scored it.
