I assume this is a glass aquarium. The glass walls of the tank do not transmit UVB, so if you have the bulb pointed down into the tank, and there is no direct path for the radiation to get from the bulb to your eyes or skin that is not through the glass, then there is zero risk to you.

You should also be able to find data on how fast that UVB decreases at distance from the bulb (it drops off very rapidly). If you're sitting across the room, the UVB transmitted is negligible -- but you should find some data to ease your wife's mind.

At 3 meters, you get no UV at all.
