Aquarium Advice Regular
Ok so this is probably really, really stupid but I haven't seen anything on line about it and I have to ask.
I had a small scrape on my thumb and put hand sanitizer on it earlier in the day without thinking about it like I normally do. I was taking my first Ammonia reading in the tank and didn't wash my hands first.
But it got me thinking...
1. Are there any diseases I can catch from my tank from bacteria getting in that scrape?
2. I know that sanitizer is a big no no (and I am so buying marine gloves!) but how bad did I screw up?
It's only my second day cycling...and yes I am a bit of a germ-a-phobe
