Do you put on glove?

[cdckjn]

I recommend you wear the rubber gloves as it is almost ALWAYS after handling the rocks - hands/fingers becomes very itchy and painful to touch. The gloves do help in reducing the itch.

But the latex gloves got powder on it, will it affect the water

I use both : Latex gloves ( the type used by hosipital staff, use and throw, cheap ) for minor work. and Aqua Gloves when I do a major work like rescape. Some times ago, after doing rescape work, my hand was so itchy that I had to see doctor. Doctor said I was attacked by unknown bacteria. Since then , I always use gloves.

Hi may i know where to get the Aqua Gloves ? and how much?

Keeping our fishes disease-free, but we are concern with ourselves to be diseased free, right?

Wash and disinfect hands after working with the tank if you dont use gloves.

Happy Reefing ...

Ok... yes yes, prevention is better than cure, but I'd like to find out if anyone who has felt this itch and pain after handling stuff in your tank applied any ointment or medication that effectively helps sooth it? I experienced this and suffered for more than 2 weeks, but sometimes still lazy to put on gloves...

Thanks went reef depot last week to take a look. quite cool. ya its $35.

Just wonder, will water drip from the groves when youtake it out from water? is there some kind of coating that the grove will stay dry out of water.

Sorry if i sound confussing

super water proof glove...not to wat i know one but for car using....there is alcohol based solution that can be applied on windscreen...and when applied...u will see rain droplet just slides aways ....but i heard it is flammable during application process. Doubt ppl us it on glove.

By the way, the glove at RD is not re-usable right? Use can throw right....if it is usable and proven totally neutral to water, i dont mind getting one....lol

I got a nasty fingerfull of bristles from a hiding bristleworm when doing tank maintenance.

Perhaps gloves would be good and necessary in major re-scaping works as liverocks are sharp! But i think if you are careful in minor tank rescaping i guess it is not that necessary unless you already have existing wounds that are not healed on your hands.

Thanks Bro DCH for your advice. Regards.

I'm using the Extra Long Hand Glove (Yellow) available from NTUC as it's non-toxic & non-fragance. Can also used for cutting 'pineapples'.
