Yeah those do look good. I never thought to look for gardening gloves. Thanks.

I think I still prefer some kind of disposable ones though. Or kind of like dish washing gloves. Are they safe to use? Not really long enough though.

You can get shoulding-length calving gloves at feed supply places and pharmacies in more rural areas. If you've ever seen something on PBS or the Discovery Channel where the host is jamming his whole arm up a cow's you-know-what then he'll be wearing these gloves.

They are disposable, shoulder-length and have a lot more tactile sensation than thicker gardening gloves or Aquagloves. I heard that OA carried these a while back as well.

What about a livestock heath or veterinary supply site. Thats about all I can think of for shoulder length disposable gloves. I just googled "livestock veterinary supply" and found a few sites.

I can relate regarding lack of direct feel as I have a set of long aquagloves, apparently janitors warehouse carry some but I haven't been able to check them out.

Let us know where you find those calving gloves. I've been using the heavy long gloves and they are impossible for any fine work.

Will do. I hope to find some soon. I need to move some stuff around in my tank but I am too scared to put my arms in again.

I know its not common to get an infection like this but obviously there is some kind of harmful bacteria in my tank. The doctors told me not to put my bare arms or hands back into the tank. I got a big lecture about how dangerous bacterias can be especially from a marine environment since they have no clue what the strain is or how deadly it could be.

I remember a thread on RC where a guy seemed to have the same thing I did and many others joined in saying they had experienced it too. All needed antibiotics to clear it up.

I figure gloves are worth it...

I know that the Cloverdale Pharmasave has Calving gloves.

That's where I got mine. I'm not sure if OA still has them. They apparently had them a while back.

from farm/vet supply, never use them though unless I'm working around the frogspawn
