tangka Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Just wondering what type of gloves are suitable for placing inside aquariums? My water has dried my fingers and caused my skin to crack from the constant placing of my fingers inside the aquarium when I feed my fish.Any recommendations?ThanksDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Don't place your hands/fingers in the water that will fix it.I am guessing that the gloves doctors use would do it, but some do have a powder coating on them to stop them sticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I had shoulder length gloves for pulling calves but I don't think you can walk into your chemist and ask for them. Depending how bad your hands are I would suggest waterproof band aids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangka Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 only reason I have to place my fingers in the water is that I feed NLS 1mm pellets. I have weir's in all my tanks. If I dont submerge the pellets underwater first, they float down the weir and into the sump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 you can soak the pellets in a small container (or alike) with a bit of tank water for a few minutes and once the pellets have sank in the container, pour as much as you would like into the tank. MAKE SURE YOU WASH THE CONTAINER BEFORE FILLING IT UP WITH TANK WATER!! You don't want toxins getting into the tank. Cheers, TimB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awsam Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Its probably not from the water. You might have a disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
