Who uses gloves?

[seashells]

Its not easy to find good quality non powdered gloves! Not all boxes say NONPOWDERED. Not sure about you...but I prefer to wear gloves while sticking my hands in the tank!!!!(actually had the dreaded FLESH EATING thing) thank g.d it was a minor case & caught in time......... wheeew. Not sure if it was from the bacteria in the tank or from a hot tub filter...both have the potential. Anyway you can custom order NONPOWDERED disposable gloves from SAVE ON FOODs for $10.37 per 100 piece box.
Hope this helps!

Are these latex gloves or something else? How long are they (wrist, elbow, etc)?

I dont use glove but im going to. I just found out I have Mycobacterium marinum. If I wore gloves I might not have got it. Its rare my doctor said he saw it only once last year. Has anyone here had it??

Doesn't corallife make some nifty gloves for aquarium use? Kinda pricey, but aquarium safe
Wai's had some last time i was in there (Calgary). JL probably sells them too

J&l has these:

I wear gloves when I can. I have some of those long up to the shoulder ones and they are great. I also use laytex gloves for fraging etc but not always. I bought a pair of those long tongs a couple months back. Those are awesome and I rarely have to put my hand in the tank know.

if you just looking to protect your hands from bristle worms and such and not worried about keeping your arms dry as well, go to a industrial supply type place and look for a box of the blue nitril disposable gloves.

I wear latex gloves handling corals and such but when it comes to the big stuff (rock) I wear the big heavy duty coralife pink & purple ones

How does one find out if they have this disease? My hands are always in the tank, without gloves.

How could I find out? Or get tested? I should just steal a box of latex gloves from work.. there free.

Don't use gloves. In and out of my tanks daily.

They're not free for the company you work for that buys them
