Glass is cheep but I'd rather have lexan polycarbonate top's. Much safer very hard to break but cost more.

 

Haven't tried it yet.

Looks like you can order polycarbonate cut to size online at tapplastics.com . They have 1/4 poly. Price looks reasonable.

If one goes glass route, how thick? The homedepot glass looks scary thin.

This info may be wrong but

 

"polycarbonate is incompatible with ammonia and acetone because it dissolves in their presence"

 

So let's say a tank randomly had an ammonia spike, would the evaporating damage the polycarbonate?

Well for one the ammonia will not evaporate out just the H2O.  I cant imagine that would ever be an issue unless you are dosing straight ammonia and spill some on it.
