Hi All
maintaining the water quality of a tropical fish tank means using certain chemicals (chlorine remover, ammonia degrader etc) and on top of this the fish are peeing and pooing constantly (sorry if you're eating but I had to say it!)
I've had my tank a couple of months now and quite often I'll have my hand / arm up to my elbow in the water, adjusting a plant that's come loose for example. Is there any reason to be cautious about doing this i.e. is there any evidence I could be doing my skin or body damage by having my arm in the water for periods of time?
I've looked for rubber gloves that go up to the elbow but no success so far. Sorry if it appears a silly question but I tend to worry about these things )
