Scott,

Thanks :) The tank at the root is the other one in the upper school
biology department from last school year, which will get fired up again
shortly. The tank that I've been working with right now is the 150 with the
sunnies for the lower school. I may also set up a 20 long with darters for
the lower school kids... We'll see.

I have tried and tried and tried to get their maintenance guys to put in a
danged gfci and they just won't. And for some reason the teacher just
doesn't get the seriousness of the situation either. Today I laid it out
plain and simple:

"You have kids, water and electricity in the same place. That's potentially
a deadly situation."

On the way home I decided to just make a "recepticle box" with one in it
that I can just mount it on the stand/table and plug into the existing
outlets. Sooooo not code, but at least the danged thing will trip!
