WOW! That's job dedication! :raspberry:
I feel alright about it now. I had the feeling that the opinions on those sites weren't based on solid information.
The only other thing not mentioned is the use of chemical additives. If you have cuts, cover against water contact and wash thoroughly after use. But to be sure, just have hubby add it.
After my recent surgery, I maintained my tanks in spite of having several areas still open to the air. I had no infections due to it.
I also had tanks while wife was pregnant and she never had any problems nor did the fetus.
