hand lotion

[jlfnjlf]

So I expect to spend a large portion of my weekend with my hands in my new 100g. Saltwater dries out my hands like crazy, but I am concerned about using any lotion it I may put my hands back in the tank before I shower. Is there a hand lotion that is "reef safe ish"?

Thanks,

John

Gloves?

John,

I would stick away from any type of lotions, as they inevitably all have some sort of oil or hydrator that will seep back into the water. Stick with the sealed plastic gloves and you cannot go wrong.

Sugical gloves is what i use and i seal them with saran wrap anytime i am going to be in the tank for extended periods of time.

John just keep a bucket near by to rinse your hands every few mins.

i wonder if you could coat your hands with a very thin layer of bee's wax prior to you starting?~) of course you would probably loose the wax off your finger tips but it would protect the rest of your hands and arms!~) i don't like gloves period!~)
