Now, whenever I do a google search I add the word Tiki. You should try it.
I searched "aquarium tiki" and got this:

Not bad. It doesn't look very practical, but that doesn't seem like the kind of thing you buy for practicality.
I found a few little resin Moai at a local Petco. I've got one in the betta bowl, and the other in the saltwater reef. The one in the saltwater actually got some coral attached to it. I have yet to catch the fish performing ritual sacrifices to it, however.

That's a cool find JV! Although for the money, I would rather hire one of the many talented Tiki artists here on TC to custom make a Tiki "cap" and "base" for an existing aquarium. As Gecko might say "Mo betta mana fo da' fish!"
Just my 2 coconuts worth.

I just checked out the site (it's now a lllooonnngg time since the previous posts) and the price has come WAY down since then. It's now around 300 clams and has a five gallon (not ten) capacity. The thing looks quite a lot bigger in photos than it actually is when you check out the specs. The height is only about 2 feet. And I think it's actually a pretty nifty-looking design which seems as though it would go beautifully in many a home tiki lounge. In fact, I'm considering it myself, and I already have one aquarium in my tiki lounge as it is.

I bought a couple of these wholesale at the Atlanta Giftmart about two years ago when they first introduced them. The prices certainly have come down because they were selling them at around $365.00 wholesale. Makes me wonder if the are "dumping" the line and discontinuing them.
Here is an image to give you an idea of scale
It is a small tank which makes it harder to manage and you have to maintain it more often. I travel to much these days and most of my fish expired over six months ago. I am pretty much resigned to just keep some crustaceans in there. They are more hardy.
