Someone should try it.

I would think that minor variations could be achieved... but when people get talking about going for a pH of 4.7 for some of their blackwater species. Can't see that being too easy to work with the same water for a hard water species.
Now something I was thinking of would be siliconing in some dividers to keep the water separate but could still have the benefits of having one tank (like be able to use 4' shoplights instead of more expensive lights for each of several smaller tanks... Not sure if it would really be anything other than more trouble than it's worth though as you could do the same thing just using two tanks the same height...
-- As for brackish I've read that some crypts like ciliata grow in brackish conditions - how important is it to replicate these conditions for crypts?
