grungefreek Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Hey Guys, I was wondering how you guys wash your hands so you can put them in your tanks??? Currently I have to wait for a day when im not working, and get straight out of bed in the morning and do tank maintenance before I do anything else. This is ratehr limiting to about 1 or 2 days a week when I can do anything to my tank. Don't think there is a better way, but I thought I would ask.

Gav Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 usually the best way is just to make sure you rinse your hands a couple of times after using soap. when I say rinse, I mean wash em, let em dry then rinse em under water a little while after. I do it that way and have no problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barramundi Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 The other option you can use is a solution of 70% ethanol & water. (Used when working for aquaculture hatchery) That's if you want to be really finicky though. I use it, but I'm pretty anal about my tanks & fish cos I am building breeding tanks/broodstock for eventual commercial use. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunatic_Mirage Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I managed to kill of a tank of fish once. I think that I had a decent amount of flyspray on my hands when I did a water change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
