Where would I find a tank divider for a 75 gallon aquarium?

I need to divide a part of my aquarium so that I can add some younger, smaller fish. I have checked all over the internet and cannot seem to find one. Any ideas?
The fish I am going to be adding are going to be 1 – 1.5″ Pundamilia cichlids and I need to keep them away from the larger cichlids in the aquarium.

Well there’s home made ones but they won’t work with fish that are real small like fry sized. Here’s the link anyways if you can use it or maybe it can give you ideas.

I use the honeycomb panel (2′ x 3′) that diffuses flourescent lights in drop ceilings. They are cheap and you can cut them to the correct size with a pair of sidecutters. The holes in them are about 3/4″ square and allow water to flow freely.
I buy suction cups with little loops on them from the craft store and use a nylon wire tie to secure them to the panel. Then you just stick them to the inside of the tank glass wherever you want the divider to stay.
I even built a breeding trap for my female cichlids out of this stuff. The adults cannot fit through the holes and when she spits the fry, they just fall through the holes down into the growout tank. When she is done, I just pop her back into the big tank with the others.

Just go to the hardware store and get some Plexiglas.
And cut to fit !
