With over 100 tanks, I buy frozen (and all other foods) in bulk packs of 1lb to a kilo. All the frozen suppliers carry these packs but, they have minimum purchase requirements of around 20 pounds to get the bulk sizes and rates.

just curious
how ever do you keep up on water changes
to you have a job outside of the fish? no offense intended, but this can get overwealming
 
Powderless latex gloves are fine. But, so is frequent hand washing. I've been involved with fish for over 40 years. I had one small infection to a hand cut about 25 years ago that was cleared up with a mild antibiotic and a topical analgesic. No problems before or after that incident.

I've gotten into a rhythm of doing a bank of tanks a day for 5 days. They receive gravel washes/water changes. While the tanks are refilling from my storage tanks, I rinse each tank's sponge filters and clean the glass panels. It sometimes feels like alot but, it's a nice detachment from my regular job.
 
To save me from carpal tunnel syndrome, here goes...ANY regular commercially available waterproof glove is fine so long as it doesn't contain mold inhibitors or powders.
