Re: [APD] open top tanks and compact fluorescent lighting

["S. Hieber" <shieber at yahoo_com>]

I think that would be far enough away to avoid all but the
most vigorous splashing and determined but ill-fated
jumpers. Be alert that, without a top cover, the odds of
dropping a light into the water are higher. All the more
reason to have your lights plugged into a GFCI.

Good luck, good fun,
