This is one reason I use gloves. Rev post this a week ago. Poor gurl.

The scary truth if this post is we are exposed to these nasty bugs on a day to day basis and we usually show no signs of ill effects. Proper handwashing and proper health is usually what keeps us safe. It is under perfect conditions that these bacterias take hold. To name a few lactobacillius(the nasty germs found in alligators), vibrio sp.(cholera), and many other bacterias are beneficial in the aquarium, but harmful to humans under the right circumstances........

For those of you reefers about to "rock"- we salute you ;)

Zef, what kind and where do you get your gloves. Disposable or just rubber dish washing type?

They make them just for the aquarium this is the ones I have Pond Cleaning & Maintenance: Aqua Gloves
