Glad to hear your project was a success. It figures that the acid wouldn't etch plastic. We used to use acid in the military, and it came in plastic jugs. So, obviously, it wouldn't have any effect on Plexi. As for the CCFL, many red ones actually look pink. You may want to try LED's instead. The few times that I've made cases with red lights, I used LED's. If you simply glue the window to the inside of the case, you can position single LED's around the edges of the window facing in. That way, the Plexi will act like fiber optics, and the etch will glow nicely.
