Question…. Do you wear gloves during tank maintenance? If so, what brand do you use? I’ve got some cheap latex ones that keep ripping and/or leak
 
I only wear gloves when dealing with zoas / paly's or when moving live rock around. I just use the Heavy Duty latex ones that you can buy at the grocery store.
 
As mentioned, you should be careful moving zoa’s due to toxins, and live rock where bristle ( or fire) worms are likely hiding.

I have a couple of pairs of these for whenever doing the above. While you lose some tactile sensitivity, you avoid the above hazards.

 
I guess I should have used heavier gloves while scrubbing my rocks yesterday. lol. Luckily, no issues.
 
I use the long coralife glove when I am working in my large fish only tank. Keeps me safe from some of the fish that like to nip at my arms. For everything else I use these

I have several different types of gloves depending on job I am doing. My favorite type is on Amazon:3F812A0B-FAB8-4366-925C-3DF6898803A8.png
