Actually, if you got to the LFS and look at the decorations, you'll see plenty of plastic skulls. Human, animal and dinosaur. So the idea of having a real one isn't as weird as it first seems. I like my tank to look as real as possible, and a real skull is definitly better than a plastic one. And I've seen some goats with some pretty wild horns, so I can see the attraction there. I have a huge old ram skull; horns over 2 feet wide and the thing weighs about 30 lbs. It would look awesome at the bottom of a really big tank.
However, after reading this thread, i think I'll just keep it on the wall.

It would leach calcium, but in my opinion if it is clean (boiled and all meat cleaned off) it shouldn't foul the water in any way that would be overly harmful to your fish. The thing about it is keep an eye on your ph and if it is extremely high you may not want to keep it in. We add buffering materials all the time if the ph has to be changed. Shells, gravel with shells, bring it up, driftwood and peat bring it down. So the skull and a big chunk of driftwood should..........The thing about bones, they are much softer than shells, so would dissolve much faster. If you enjoy the skull, keep it on a shelf, to look at.
unless you already have one?
