Arm Length Gloves?

[flix_cw]

sorry to hear you picked up an infection.

Do you make sure you don't have any cuts/open wounds on your hands and forearms before putting your hands in the tank?

i try to make sure that i don't have any cuts, but being a teenage boy it's quite hard lol (i don't think rugby helps ).

[Ben M]

Hi, Please let us know how you get on with these. I'm interested for the same reason, but not sure what's suitable. Be my Guinea pig. lol.

Thanks

 

[Ben M]

yep, will do.

 

[zuulan]

yep, will do.

I've just bought these:

Hopefully they will be thin enough to work on a tank rather then the ponds they are designed for. I'll let you know. Have you got yours yet?

Just so you know, if the thin gloves don't work out for you, there is this brand of gloves made for aquarium use. They are heavy weight and appear to be very durable. These are for sale by an American company but you might be able to find them elsewhere too.
