Do you decorate your tank for Halloween?

Saw this photo on FB, and got to thinking... how many of you decorate your tanks for Halloween? I never have, but I might. Could be fun for the kiddos!

I might encrust a skull with GSP. Just have to figure out how to get a skull to not leak toxins. Maybe a Plastic Skull with a rock as an anchor.

My luck that skeleton would have velvet or trace elements of something lol

Id be more worried about it having lead or something on it. You know how crap from china is laced with lead

My take is that I'll decorate the outside of the tank. I'm tempted to drop a skull in, but only one of those made specifically for growing frags on.

I don't put anything into the reef tank, but we have some seasonal aquarium decorations that go into the planted 125. The Halloween ones will be going in this week.

Sounds fun I probably wouldn't do it though.

I have a pair of Gladiator Clowns that already provide the correct colors for a Halloween decoration.

I used chaeto from my sump as spider web decoration outside. It works well because it gets white when it is dry.

I have a halloween problem.
When I moved I gave away 6 pallets of Halloween stuff.
I even had the full size Kraken from the rum distributor at one time.
I try to be good, So far my tank is Saw free.

I guess I am too much of a purist to put anything like that in my tanks.

What about decorating around the tank on the outside?

Simply have someone print one on the 3D Printer for you!

I haven't personally decorated, but I have done prints for others that do! It is s a lot of fun to get pictures of the items in the tanks!
