my best kept secret

I personally use Nitrile surgical gloves (powder Free).

They are puncture resistant and you keep good mobility with your hands. The only problem is they only go to the wrist so I have to use elastic bands to seal them to my wrist, otherwise they fill with water(sucks). Another bonus is they come in packs of like 100 so they last forever.

Just an alternative to bigger rubber gloves but still do the same job.

I use the latex gloves as well, however at first I was pretty insistant on getting powder free.. but for the last couple of boxes ( about 5 ) I have not bothered and have seen no ill effects from the powder.

The powder is corn starch with some latex dust. It shouldn't be a problem, unless you or your fish have a latex or corn allergy.

You don't find that there's an immunity to BWs after awhile? I was fragging a rock yesterday, and I pulled one off with my bare fingers, no effect. When I started Reefing, it would have hurt.
