UV-T Plexi has to be replaced quite often to maintain it's effectiveness.
6mos is recommended by labs but you could probably push it to 12.  A better
solution would be to only have UV-T in the path of the sun with low FE glass
or normal plexi making up the rest.  Check out the manufacturer's claims
individually (require them to provide a % throughput for the thickness you
plan to use at a baseline of the UVB you care about) as not all UV-T is
created equal.

So, building a greenhouse using Plexiglas (UV-T) would allow in more UVB
than a Zoomed Reptisun 5.0?
