I use surgical gloves and a rubber band at the wrist every single time I have my hand in the tank. This also protects the fish from soap residue and hand cream, etc.
thanks for the kind words EllieSz and Rockymtreefer

Hopefully we can convince new and "seasoned" reefers to put on gloves at least for some maintenance tasks that could lead to a cut or opening in the skin.
