Ozone reactor, any DIY plans?

I am wanting to run ozone, but it seems like it will break my skimmer down, so I am looking for a reactor, or to make one.

any plans or decent reactors I can buy?

thanks

The tubing reactor has been working perfectly since I set it up. I upsized the carbon filtration to be 3 nested IO buckets, but otherwise it is unchanged.
