Gloves???

Anyone have recommendations for a good pair of reef-worthy gloves and where you got them? Need them for general tank maintanence and the handling of medications during quarantene. Thanks.

Any non-latex exam glove available at your local CVS/Walgreens/etc. Rubberbands around the wrists when needed.

I just use a big box of "Grease Monkey" brand nitrile gloves from Home Depot for everything from working on the car to messing in the fish tank (different pairs obviously)

I use the coralife gloves - I like that they go all the way to my arm pit when I have to go deep into the tank. They don't seem to last me long < year. The hand part is really think so it's hard to get a tactile feel. However, for moving rocks etc, they do what I need.

I use nitrile or similar surgical gloves like others said. You can also order them elbow length. Personally anything I do in my tank I have them on.
