is polycarbonate reef safe?

[Devaji]

so I have DIY project in mind where I will use a few pieces of poly carbonate.
i believe it is indeed reef safe but just wanted to make sure...

any known leaching issues or anything I should be aware of?
cheers

It is generally OK, except for storing high pH additives (especially limewater/kalkwasser), where it can fail due to chemical damage.

I plate sps onto pc strips to trade around. made of water bottle trash lol. once encased in red nobody minds and ive never seen them harm even with direct coral contact for years on end. I burn the end with a lighter and curve it up. glue a reef safe magnet to that curve. glue sps on the end of the one inch plank of trash. use magnet on outside, and sticky my whole tank like this its a trash reef with a bunch of little planks of brain corals and sps frags growing into place.
