Latex gloves??

[kevin21]

I was handling zoas while wearing latex gloves. I glued the zoas to the frag and put it straight into the display tank. I still had the glove on and didnt think twice of it, i rinse the glove under water before i used it. While i was taking my hand out of the water some of the tank water that got trapped in my glove leaked back out into the tank and was white cloudy water. Do you guys think there is any damage to the tank? Its been 10 minutes with no effects other then the water still being a little cloudy still. Think this is anything to worry about?

Thanks

Probably not. It was probably just talcum powder. In the future, use non-powdered gloves.

Thanks, It was a stupid mistake I was rushing. Glad theres no damage done.

I once used powdered latex gloves and forgot about it. For a few days, my fish were breathing heavily but luckily they all made it. My water volume at the time was small (30ish gallons), but I'd watch out for any possible changes, and be ready for a water change and/or carbon.

You should be ok especially if your running carbon. Happy reefing.

Should all be fine!
