We use a lot of hazardous chemicals in reefkeeping. These include
acids (e.g., muriatic acid, vinegar, alk test kit titrants)
bases (e.g., sodium hydroxide and carbonate, calcium hydroxide, sodium silicate solution)
heavy metals (for dosing or in certain test kits)
solvents (organic carbon dosing, PVC primers, adhesives, etc.)
In addition to keeping yourself safe, be sure to keep these in a fashion that children cannot access them.
