Hands in a tank

[Harlock]

The above advice is great. I want to reiterate bare hands. Remove jewelry of all kinds, rings, watches, bracelets, etc. that may end up in the tank. Rings and watches are notorious for developing gunk between folds in the metal and links. Some of it may even be soap from when you washed your hands last which would be bad.

If you wanted there are also full hand/arm gloves for you. I use these because if I dont I get a rash, or sometimes worse.

Where did you find the gloves Kasakato? I saw them on a web site once and haven't seen them since. Thanks

My husband immerses his whole body in the tank - hasn't done him or the fish any harm so far!

Sweet! How do you do a water change on that big of tank?

He backwashes the swimming pool filters - they are plumbed directly into our outgoing sewer line. To refill, hot and cold water lines are plumbed into the return lines. To pump water out, or to refill, it's only a matter of turning a couple of levers.
