Reef Gloves?

Would these gloves be COMPLETELY reef safe? They are much cheeper than the Coralife brand ones:Amazon.com: Atlas Glove WG772L 26-Inch Long Sleeve Nitrile Coated Cotton Lined Work Gloves, Large: Home Improvement

I would think so. I did a quick google search to see what nitrile was. It's what non-latex surgical gloves are made of.

 

look fine to me. but why ya needem? gloves like the coralife one become soaked and nasty after constant use. They become another chore ime

 

Ok great!
Thanks so much for the help. K+

 

My skin gets irritated when I put my arm in the tank sometimes. This will prevent that.

 

I get the same thing along my arms. gloves wont help, the moisture will build up on the inside of the glove and you'll get the same and in most cases a worse effect, as your arm will heat up the inside of the glove irritating your arm even more.

 

Use of the gloves will prevent the oils and other contaminates on you skin from getting in the water and preventing you skimmer from working as well as it could. I have gotten in the habit of useing gloves and my skimmer output has gone through the roof. Just my $.02

 

Hmmm, I have never experianced this with latex gloves. Maybe that only goes with very tight fitting gloves? Gloves will also keep coral toxins away from my skin.

Good point!
