I just had an idea and wanted to hear some opinions. Has anyone ever done or heard of someone putting deer antlers in a tank for decorative purposes? Assuming it would not look completely tacky, do you think it would mess up the water chemistry? Would something like that decompose in the water more than driftwood? Thanks in advance.

i don't know who would want to put deer antlers in their tank, i guess its a matter of taste. then again, who knows what kind of solvents and preservatives are coated onto the antlers, because yeah they do decay over time. and if its not preserved, it might foul up in contact with water. im not sure myself, then again i always stick to aquarium-safe ornaments and decor.
I'm sorry but I could not help but laugh at that. My buddy suggests you also consider throwing some beer and Skoal cans in there too! Maybe you could use a centerfold for the tank background!
Actually, that really doesn't sound so bad... I might actually consider something like that as a 'novelty tank'!

I'm surprised my BF hasnt thought of this yet lol. But that would require removing one of them from the wall in the garage.apratsunrthd said:
I really do think it could be done to look nice, with a natural river/lake bottom theme. Some plants and things like that would work, but I will agree that an empty Miller Light bottle would probably be the best addition to the tank as far as my friends are concerned. I might even do that without adding the antlers (since they might mess up the water). well, thanks for the feedback everybody, take it easy. I'm out!
