    I have the same issues.. When ever I do any type of maintenance I itch like you would not believe!! I also cant touch my coral.. When ever I do I end up with red dots all over the areas it touched me and they itch really bad. We are also looking into purchase some tank gloves. My husband is tiered of doing all the maintenance.. lol.. Poor guy.. :D

    If you can wait until December and want to order from doctors foster and smith, enter this code 3384/2152 and with ANY order (not live aquaria) you can choose one of like 4 items free. One item is a pair of aquagloves which are like a 15 dollar value.

    My skin also gets irritated by my tank water. I think it's the salt. I usually wear gloves, but if I forget, owww! I have heard about some pretty bad reactions to corals, so make sure to get gloves before you have those.

    LOL.. Agreed! pink is one of my favorite colors ;D! I am very lucky to have such a wonderful person to do my tank maintenance! I have been procrastinating with purchasing the gloves bc I seem to have more time enjoying the look of the tank with out doing anything..lol!! But then again I do miss getting my hands in their and feeding the little guys ::)..
