I want to find one of those tacky aquarium ornaments in the shape of the easter island heads, or something similar? Where would I go for something that puts the Ack! in Tacky?

Riverfront has some REALLY bad ones! The naked mermaid one was my favourite. Maybe. So hard to choose...

I want to find something tacky enough that it may have a cool factor when it is overgrown with SPS. Like the guy on RC who has an Easter Island head with green digi growing on the top, it looks like hair!

Hmmm mermaid with a head of birdsnest?

That actually sounds cool...maybe something to do with the group home aquarium.

Just make sure they're designed to look like their counterparts in the ocean. :) Teeheehee it doesn't get old!!!

Ha ha. I'm a little ashamed that I cackled outloud at that joke. AGAIN! You're right, Tony...it never gets old.

I suspect some of those jokes are going to be around for a long long time!

I have a skull that has been overgrown with gsp. Looks pretty cool. At first he had a mohawk but now he's got a full head of hair!

Here is the photo I was originally referring to. I took me forever to find it.

OH I just saw that thread the other day. Damn its in the history on another computer. I'll have a look for it. It cracked me up though. I only read the first page or so where the guy had those easter island heads in his tank as he was getting started. I didn't realize he was planning on turning them into underwater chia pets :razz:

Do you mean the other one on RC called Neptune's 220 Build or something to that effect? The one where he made tiki heads in his system and put lights in their mouths?

Oh yeah thats the one I saw. He had them sitting on clear PVC so you they could be lit from within. Forgot about that. :biggrin:

I would do that if I could. I was researching it yesterday as a potential part of my reaquascaping.
