Aquarium Gloves

[revernance]

It's winter and my hands have small cracks and some bleeding. Plus I train in boxing so that doesn't help either.

Anyway, does anyone have recommendations for long gloves(around 28") so I don't get aquarium related infections?

Summary:
1) Coralife Aquagloves are too stiff for tank maintenance
2) Latex gloves might work, but tying it with rubberband cuts of my circulation (I have very veiny hands).

Thanks!

Do you have a Harbor Freight or other discount tool store nearby? They usually carry long vinyl gloves. They're the same thing Drs. Foster and Smith sell, at a fraction of the cost.

Try Home Depot or Lowe's.

Thanks for the harbor freight link!
Found this, looks just like the Coralife AquaGlove:

Only $8! I hope it's not too hard to work with. It is made of PVC though

I will try lowes of HD at last resort because it's hard for me to locate things in those stores lol thanks

LMAO, not so much as the a$$ but for artificial insemination. So now that leads your thoughts to another location. LOL, not the funnest thing in the world to do.

I have on and off problems with tank water and my hands. When things flare up I use surgical gloves which I seal up using waterproof adhesive tape. This works pretty well and I have full mobility and ability to grip and to do fine type stuff.
