Is there a trick to burying plastic aqaurium plants, other thank to do it when there is so little water you can go it with your hand?

Or am I too worried about sticking my arm in the tank? I assume that will mess with the chemistry, but maybe not . . .

I don't think putting your hands in the tank messes with the chemistry. I should hope not, anyway, since I'm messing around in mine almost every day. I just make sure not to have any soap, lotions, hair product, etc. on them.

Your hand won't mess anything up. Obviously if you have any open wounds of some sort cover them up with something (for your health mostly), otherwise the difference you'll make is negligable - obviously make sure your hands are dry and void of anything.

Remember to always carry a towl

Yep just make sure your hands are clean then dive right in. I have my hands in the tank on a daily basis.

you can wear some dish gloves too.

Just to state the obvious before there's any sort of massive accident. If you're goign to use the dish gloves make sure they're a NEW PAIR. Stuff which has already come into contact with soap is going to mess up your chemistry BIG TIME.
