Lotion on my hands
Okay, so this is not very serious (im extremely hoping it doesn't become that) but I put on lotion that I got for my birthday this morning and completely forgot I did before emerging my entire arm in the tank to move their bubbler. I heard lotions and sprays are really bad for them. Please someone tell me I didn't just poison them. They are doing wonderful, I have a GSP 3 years old, a Ceylon (I believe 1-2 year) and a knight goby who is also 3 years. They are in full marine and doing better than ever...except for my lotiony arm today. Am I completely overreacting????

You could put some activated carbon in your filter to be on the safe side
