I had just started with my weekly tank maintenance this afternoon. Since the water change is actually the last thing I do, I started with my usual first step...cleaning the glass! Did some manual removal of some algae and proceeded to move down to the sump. Had just cleaned the simmer cup and changed out my filter sock. It was then that I decided to change out my carbon media. So I busted out my trusty scissors and proceeded to cut away at my ziptie when I stabbed the crud out of my finger.
I did my norm (yep, I have a norm...I am actually quite accident prone) and washed in antibacterial soap followed by an iodine rinse and a scooby-doo band aid. So here is where I always face a dilema...I have an open sore, do I continue on with what Im doing or play it safe and put off the rest of my cleaning for the next day?
In all honesty, I wait to clean another day...but I'm wondering if anyone else does this? How do you tend to broken skin wounds when your elbow deep in your tank?
