Looking for a plastic that will not block u/v
Looking for a plastic that will not block u/v
(OP)
I am building a top for my aquarium to slow down evaporation. I need to avoid loosing u/v light from getting to my corals. What product would work best for my application. I have little knowledge on the subject and instead of wasting my time finding wrong information, I would just ask the people who make these things. Also What type of lighting would give me the best lighting for simulating the sun with the least amount of power to run.

The only exception (as stated) is if the PMMA you are looking at contains UV absorbers, then you should move to a grade that does not contain those.
