Moderate Consumption of Reef Water
Hi All,
So today as I was multi-tasking; water-change and coral acclimation, I managed to receive dose of reef water through sucking on the cyphon and drip valve to pull up water. I spit most of it out, but is this harmless? Just as long as I spit it out right. or should I start using a hand pump? My tank levels are good lol. But, for my inhabitants, not for me.  Thanks, Pinnochio5

I personally wouldn't worry about it. As you stated you spit it out.

lol, i actually wondered about that myself, after seeing little organisms running around on the glass panes with a handheld microscope.. i stopped "manually siphoning" (after getting a few mouth rinses myself) the same day and now use a pump.

the saltwater from your tank is not any better than directly from the ocean,how many of us had swallowed that ocean water while swimming
 i had it few times as a kid learning how to swim or playing in the ocean.
