      Where to get solid top: glass, acrylic, or ploycarbonate

      I'm looking for a custom cut solid top for my 40 breeder. I emailed a local Glass place here in town but nothing. Does anyone know where I can get something in north county: Temecula or Escondido areas? At this point I may even drive further south to get what I need.

      Is there any plastic tops that dont warp or filter out too much light? If polycarbonate say 100% UV blockage is that an issue?

      I know I am in the minority since everyone has screen tops. Myy goal is to limit evaporation and contamination an not worried too much about a little loss of light intensity.

      thanks for any help

      i got a lid cut here from the link below for my old 50 cube (2 pieces slightly under 12x24 each). i did 1/4 tempered glass with a 1.5" feeding hole and it was only like $35 or $40. They are in san marcos.

      I ended up ordering 3/16 piece of polycarbonate from TAP plastics online. I hope it doesn't filter out too much light. I think it says 100% UV block. Is that bad?
