Anyt metal object made out of stainless steel will meet your needs.  
Stainless steel is a good electrical conductor, but is safe around water for 
extended periods of time.  There are different grades of stainless steel.  
Probably 316 stainless would best meet your needs, but any of the others 
should work.  Suspend the rod or piece of metal in the water, and leave a 
piece sticking out the top.  To that dry piece, bolt a green wire (green wire 
is used for grounds).  You can then run that wire down to the center screw of 
an electrical switch plate, and you have your electrical ground.  If you wish 
to ground the case of the fluorescent lights, you can also attach it to the 
center screw on the switch plate.
