I know a guy that frags zoas bare handed then eats bbq sandwiches with no hand washing. I won’t say who it is.

+1 on the deep tank/deodorant worries. I have pretty long arms and I still take my shirt off if I have to reach to the bottomI don’t usually wash before because I don’t want soap to run off into the tank. But always after. I have a 30” tank so half the time I have my whole arm in the tank and I worry about getting deodorant in the water.
This is my question too! I don't look forward to learning what a bristleworm encounter feels like but I can't figure out the glove thing. Tell me about this magic!All of you that voted gloves... How does that work?
Rubber gloves would flood as soon as you get the wrist underwater, right? I would think surgical type gloves would be torn in no time when dealing with encrusted live rock... What, you have opera length rubber gloves? I'm picturing the kind of thing a vet uses when assisting in delivering a new colt
Nice to see another beekeeper on here! This'll be my 4th year with bees, and I still don't feel confident enough to go without a suit or gloves. I went without gloves initially, but realized o was much more confident manipulating the frames with them.I wear gloves if what im doing may poke or sting me. So if picking up a rock i wear gloves, if just doing a wc i dont. Really this is because i have experinced what a bristle worm feels like lol. When i first started i used gloves for everything, gained a level of confidense with certain tasks. I do the same with my bees, even though im alergic, some tasks i wear a suit others like a simple taking the top off inspection or fall feeding i dont.
What kind of sickness did you get?I wash my hands with soap and water before and after! After I’m done with my tank, I always use hand sanitizer after I wash my arms and hands.. I don’t wanna get sick! I got sick before from my tank by not doing a thorough job of washing up after...

i noticed too when my hand are in my tank my corals extend their feeding tenticlesI am in my tank so much my fish have accepted me as one of their own and actually school with my hands and rub against me.
Well, the baslets do. The tangs do a little and even the fox face. The clowns bite.
No negative impacts that i can tell what so ever. But then I run ozone, UV and change 80g a month.
