Another Newbie

Hi there!

New to this forum. My wife and I had a marine tank several years ago in Texas, but with law school/a baby/moving/etc. we had to part with it until now. We're excited to start up a new tank and see what's changed over the past few years, and what differences there are between keeping a tank by the gulf and up in the Great White North.

Note to newbie and self. Never work in tank without gloves on. Go get disposable nitrile gloves and keep at all locations where tank work may occur.

Damn hand is full of stings again today from worms. Why am I so stupid???

I'd still rather have that than the DIY residues I've got on my hands atm. I can count: latex house paint, pond foam, marine epoxy, hydraulic cement, and silicone. I think I'm going to order a pair of those shoulder length gloves now...

No you really don't want the bristle worm stings. They suck, itchy, burning, tingling numbness all at once, swelling and stiffness in the fingers.

Oh no you don't!!!. Them bristle worm stings can put you down, or even worse get so badly infected they have to chop off you hand or more, worse case scenario :0...

In time you actually get used to them. I have been stung so many times I don't feel them anymore. lol
