Customer asked if there is any problems with placing his mount over an aquarium? Will this harm the mount at all?

Other wise I don't think you should have any problems. I have 3 mounts over fish tanks and have had them there for years. Joe
in my freshwater tanks i add some salt, as the water evaporates i always have a salt buildup on the covers and filters, i would think as the years go by that deer head hanging over the fish tank would get rather dirty but if joe hasn't had any problems then i can't see why it would hurt

I don't think the evaporation rate of the tank is going to be soo great as to affect the deer mount. If the tank has a cover on it this should even minimize this effect. I wouldn't be too worry about it.
mounts hanging above aquariums. I've one about 16" above a salt water tank for 9 or 10 years (the tank is covered). Salt creep every place else, but not on the deer - yet. They are my mounts so I figure if there is ever a problem, I can fix it. HOWEVER, I do not recommend it to customers, I always tell them they are taking a chance if they do so.
Merry Christmas!

The small dust particals can kill the fish. Dp will remove oxegen in the water. That is the only thing I can think of that may happen.
I have a badger skin rug and a ruff grouse over mine. They do not have any damage, but the grouse's tail used to be fanned more. it has slowly started to fold up. I am going to cut it off and redo it with some bondo and put it back. it should stay then. I think the little amount of moisture is causing it. The other grouse I have in other parts have not done that.
A deer head I would think would not be harmed, unless like someone already said, Falls into it.
worked in a aquarium store for years, not pretty what it can do over the years. I wouldn't take the chance.
