IKEA actually makes a light that would work perfect for what you are doing. It's about a 10" diameter globe light (complete with socket and cord, so you don't have to do the wiring) that sits on a table for about $12 (price just went up - it used to be 10). Throw in one of their VERY awesome compact flourescent colored bulbs and you have a very cool float alternative. Just tie your netting and hang! http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70096377 I know the one in Carson had bunches of these lights. I always thought it would be an inexpensive way of doing a fish float light. I haven't tried it, but I bet you could use the stain glass spray on it to color it even more. I'm sorry I didn't think of this sooner.
