Ozone by itself will eat the acrylic. Mixed in with the water, it should be fine. Most all skimmers are sold as "ozone safe" and use regular acrylic and pvc. Your ozone injector should be kynar (pvdf) if you are using a strong ozonizer. Most pvc will be fine for smaller ozonizers.

Thanks!! Even if it only wears for a few years, it would still be worth saving the green (and a little fun too)

any design ideas??

Any of the designs on RC are great. Theres a ton of info on skimmers here.
Just pump the ozone into the venturi, beckett, etc.
Have fun,
