Joel posted a good point, As much as you dont want to get anything from your tank , you dont want to contaminate your tank with chemicals, dirt , or soap traces before you put your hand in either.


I am anal about washing my hands before i put it in the tank more than washing my hands afterwards. but ive had rashes before so i really make try to do my best to wash before and after.


actually i should cut back on washing my hands

my skin turns red and cracks, and it hurts like a mutha @#$%$#!! ( of coarse i use lotion, curel is a miracle :headbang2 )

but i blame the water, its hard water :(
 
I sometimes wash before. If I do I rinse my hands forever to make sure there are no traces of soap left before putting my hands in a tank. I always was my hands after messing around in a tank though. :)
 
I skip the soap. I thoroughly wash my hands with plain water before dipping my hands. If I need to get to the bottom of my tank, I thoroughly clean my snorkel beforehand.
