Yeah, Tap Plastics. They have this Polycarbonate Abrasion-Resistant (https://www.tapplastics.com/product/plastics/cut_to_size_plastic/polycarbonate_sheets_ar/517), which doesn't mention any UV protection in the product description.

If it's quality cast acrylic it shouldn't leach anything. From my understanding, polycarbonate will actually absorb more water compared to acrylic, but since it's stiffer, it's less prone to warping.

Did you remove it from the 4" disc, or just glue it to the 5"?
Just glued it to the 5" plate
Hydroids
I tossed the monti, rock, and frag racks that were infested. It’s been almost 6 months and I haven’t seen any sign of them. Maybe I got lucky and had hydroids that didn’t produce free swimming medusa - fingers crossed.
Ostreopsis Dinos
I bottomed out my phosphate and ended up with dinos (other thread here: https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/microscope-for-dinos.39077/). I used UV at night for a few weeks and that along with increasing phosphates seemed to be the fix. I’m dosing about 0.10ppm daily of DIY phosphate on top of feeding to maintain my phosphate level, which I want to keep between 0.10 - 0.15ppm.
Effects from Low Nutrients/Dinos
I'm assuming this was the cause/stress event because ICP came back and everything was in range.
Lost Walt Disney frag to RTN:
Oregon Tort has a small spot of tissue loss that doesn’t seem to be getting bigger, but probably is STN.
WWC Striptease lost color at the base, but looks like the color is coming back now that nutrients are back up.
Growth Pics
Vivid Confetti started growing this bright green edge at the base, which I haven’t seen before.
TSA Fruity Pebbles from @derek_SR is probably my fastest grower. More than doubled in size since I got it 6 months ago.
