Have you thought about a tank divider? You could put it between the mail and the femail and that should do the trick. If you can't find a ready made one, I've heard that a piece of tapestry sheet, from sewing shops, will do. It needs to be wider than your tank and the extra width will give you a 'bow' and thus pressure along the sides. Colin >From: "S.
