How safe is it if you got some of the water from the tank in your mouth? I have to suck the water through the vacuum pump to get to flow going everytime I do my water change..and always get some water in my mouth...was wondering if that is a safe way to do it?

Well besides the fact it tastes nasty, probably not on the list of things you should be consuming throughout the day. A trick I use to start the siphon is to stick the end inside the tank into a powerhead to push the water from the inside. Works like a charm!
Hehe... well, not all zoanthids necessarily contain palytoxin. The information is kind of variable depending on the source. And some people think the hazards tend to be overstated.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=9809414#post9809414 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by 4jlong

I suggest not to do that any longer...It is too risky IMHO. We just don't know the toxicity of our corals as of yet. We know certain Paly's are deadly...not to mention the bacterias that are present in our tank.
Growing up near the reef, my grandparents prohibited us from playing around the liverocks because it is known that if someone gets cut with the liverocks the healing process is so slow, not to mention the excrutiating pain.
