Also, I am guilty of not washing my hands before sticking them in the tank. Your 90G plus sump is going to be fairly forgiving of a little something on your hands.

yeah i always spray the windex in another room on a towel get the glass nice and wet and come back again with the news paper

No worries mate. The amount of residual ammonia is so little that your tank won't even notice. I usually forget to clean my hands 98% of the time before I put them in the tank.

[victor626nj]

What? Where you like washing your hands in the stuff? I may have to dig through my chemical formulations but I could swear that there ain't much in Windex. As in most household ccleaners the bulk of the material is water. Water, ammonia, surfactant, maybe some some type of alcohol but a very small amount.

If corals were that fragile then they deserve to die.

How could it hurt anyway, I'm sure you put on gloves first before reaching into the tank. Right?

 

[dough]

That should be "tuff" love. I'm getting to old to stay up late at night.

Your screwed! Suprised your tank hasn't started the RTN process and fish belly up!
