Thanks, chlorine, Sandpoint and George's hood design
I give a blanket "thank you" to those who replied about turtles, frogs,
newts etc. in a paludarium. I definately won't be getting a turtle, though
I like them, but I may try a "Fire Belly Toad". They look pretty small to
eat fish and apparently will eat blood worms.

I would say that 3 minutes was too long. Give them 2 minutes at most and
maybe less for more sensitive plants. Steve Pushak and I once really zapped
some plants with a chlorine mix way high and for about 10 minutes (by
mistake, of course). It killed almost everything -- however, the Lobeilia
Cardinalis came through okay and is still growing in my tank. Just thought
I'd note the hardiness of this plant.

Me too. I don't think anyone but Sandpoint sold their controllers, did they?

Right on George! My hood of this design has no switch on the front set of
lights. I love working in all that light and it never ceases to amaze when
I lift that hood and light up the whole room. Neighbours across the street
tell me they can always tell when I am working on the tank. :)
