Yup, that is how the toothbrushes do it too. Now you need to make it a "step down" transformer if you want "safe" voltage levels in your aquarium, still I wouldn't deliberately expose any circuits, as the exposed circuits will become electrodes and "dissolve". I don't think the glass cares much about magnetic flux, it won't be the worlds most efficient transformer but if it is low power then no biggie.
