Do you use gloves?

[rako1]

So one thing I'v been told so many times is keep your hands out of your tank. So the question is do you use gloves when working in your tank, or do you wash your hands in vinegar and go at it.

I don't have zoa/Paly, so I don't wear gloves. Have not had any problems.

My tank is predominantly Z&P and i never wear gloves. Most of the other Z&P guys i know don't either. I don't ever have issues and i never get stung by my nem either.

I do be careful with the eyes though. I keep the frags away from my eye because i have heard of them spitting before.

I never wear gloves. I can handle any coral or nem I have without any issue

No gloves here. Isn't the reason for gloves more to keep contaminants out rather than protect you? I figure since I have 270 gal or so, it would take a lot of oil off my arms to do damage. With a smaller setup, I'd consider gloves.

I use gloves but not all the time. If it's more delicate work I'm doing in the tank I just go bare handed.

Never use gloves. And really only made the skimmer go nutts once when I had something on my hands.

No glove here!!! But I cut from a distance when holding the frag.. I use a magnifier for special cuts is the only time I'm real close to the frag...

No glove for me either...I go in raw.

Very interesting I know larger tanks might be able to handle any pollutants and soap residue introduced into our systems but smaller systems might not. after seeing and hearing a lot of tank crashes and algie problems I wonder how much this has to do with it. keep it comming guys and girls love to here your imput.

Bareback here too. Glasses and keep your mouth shut went fragging. Always always cut away!

I hardly ever use them. If I know I will be coming into contact with the softies, or cutting z&p I will, but otherwise no.
