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.

oh and i would have to remove the little wire part that you use to open them.

by **kizno1** Fri 15 Jan 2010 - 20:14

not sure if they would work. somethink like this might be better

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 know its a UK site, but gives you the idea.

Or those like Kizno found Very Happy

yeah but i cant find anything like what kizno found at the craft store, i have a gift card to there:) i can alway get the report binder spines, at least i know they are safe.

by **kizno1** Fri 15 Jan 2010 - 20:24

cant you get any off ebay. and i would go for the once van said if you can i was going to recommened them but i didnt know what they where called :]

by **Vandraco aka Bronzecat** Fri 15 Jan 2010 - 20:29

Neither did I kizno LOL Only found out about 10 mins ago:)

by **kizno1** Fri 15 Jan 2010 - 20:30

i googled a few difrent things and couldnt find anythink :]

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?

if its round does it have enough surface space to be able to stick to the glass in the tank?

by **flip** Sat 16 Jan 2010 - 13:26

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?

by **Haych** Sat 16 Jan 2010 - 14:42

both he and Lippy survived the disease Very Happy

thats great!! thank goodness ya caught it early :D

by **flip** Sun 17 Jan 2010 - 20:32

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!

Sounds good! well done! Smile

by **flip** Sun 17 Jan 2010 - 20:43

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:)

by **aly_starh** Sun 17 Jan 2010 - 20:47

lol

Cant wait to see pics! Smile

Do you know where your going to buy them from? Any particular tail type?

by **flip** Sun 17 Jan 2010 - 21:19

ill try to get some pics soon:) ive been looking at all the lfs at the bettas and petco has the cleanest and healthiest looking bettas so im going to go there. and they have a lot of different tail types so im going to see if they have a halfmoon i like. but im not really to picky with the tails as long as they are active and healthy!

by **Haych** Sun 17 Jan 2010 - 21:59

well done

by **flip** Sun 17 Jan 2010 - 23:03
