PicoSavvy Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Here are some places that sell them. (http://www.techplastcoated.com/polycarbonate-sheet-scratch-resistant.asp) (http://www.eplastics.com/m/mobile.html?type=lstnavv&name=Plexiglass%20Sheet%20-%20Abrasion%20Resistant&catid=29) I think they make some that have the coating on just one side, so maybe those are reef safe. I just fond about them recently when I was searching for ways of cleaning my new tank. Link to comment

Ah I see what they are, these are Polycarbonate (Lexan) so they can't be used for tanks, they don't have the same rigidity as acrylics, very difficult to machine, and the fume produced from laser cutting is extremely toxic to human. I wish it could a game changer though. Link to comment
PicoSavvy Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Those are just some quick example, they have them for acrylic.

Pre-coated sheets may be an option but probably not going to be selling well if price of final product is too high in the end vs high quality glass tank. I'd go for a glass tank myself.
