    Thumbs down Is It Just Me .............?

    Does anyone else hate sticking their hand/arm in their tanks? I have to stick some more zoas in my reef tank later and I'm dreading putting my arm in.

    put my arm in all the time, like keeping my algae lawns short, however, 200 mm exclusione zone from breeding clowns, she hates me?? Gauntlets ok till they get wet inside, the lining looses its strength and they just tear when you take them off.

    I've had my bright blue gauntlets for 5 years with no issues. The elastic is a bit tight on my bingo wings so my hands go the same colour as my gaunlets, but other than that they're good and watertight (the emphasis being on tight)

    Lol I hate it when the cleaner shrimps start cleaning my hand/arm. I thought about getting the gloves but I have to prune my macro algae in my seahorse tank each week so really I need to use my fingers and the gloves would make things awkward I would have thought. I can't wait to rinse my arm under the tap to get the salt off.
