Hey does any1 know where I get get arm length nitrile gloves. Sometimes I have to maintenance the bottom parts of my tank n my arm will kill after in pain from the toxins in water. Even after almost 3 years Im still not use to it. The chunky blue n reg arm length gloves don't work. I can't ry grip anything. I need those disposable skin tight latex ones. If any1 knows where I can purchase a few boxes please let me know. Thx!

Vet clinics that service large animals will have them.

I always forget to find some of these, until my skin starts peeling again. Maybe over the holidays I'll actually go look :)

Most arm length ones for cattle arent nitrile/laytex. Their more like the gloves they use at Subway. Dont think gloves like that hold up well with sharp objects like rock and coral.

Most sold for the fish industry are more of a bulky rubber glove.

If I remember one day, i can check the online catalogue that vets from BC order from to see if such a thing exists. Then even if the vets dont carry it they may be able to order it.

The vet supplier does not carry nitrile or latex arms length gloves

Those would work for me. I'm not moving rock around or anything, just trying to keep hands dry when doing anything in tank.

Huge range in prices from 8 per 100 to 40 per 100.
Not sure how durable the more "durable" ones are.
Didnt look at canadian online prices but wholesale is on par with those american prices.

You're right. If I use the shoulder length poly gloves I put the wrist length nitrile gloves over top to help protect from holes. Still not tough enough to deal with picking up large pieces of rock, but definitely tough enough for placing/gluing corals and cleaning the tank.

I use the ones from Lee Valley Tools - they are excellent.
