Quick question, what about washing hands or other things using tap water and using it right away in the tank... will it have a bad impact to the fish, corals and other animals?
Most everything ( equipment) in my tanks is washed off with tapwater. Most of the time I will give it a quick wipe with a dry rag ( also helps remove and algae I missed washing it) but sometimes I just shake it off and use it.
