So I ordered some goodies with money from my last fragging.
Coralife Gloves: First off I hate coralife products, they have always failed on me and these were not advertised as a coralife product. That said they are like a long pair of dishwashing gloves with extra thik rubber for your hands. They are comfortable and serve the purpose of keeping your arms dry. I found that there is too much space in the actual glove part and the rubber to be very thick, this makes intricate movements difficult and often leaves me feeling like a robot, it is very hard to judge how you're holding something and if you need to hold it tigher or not, picking up branching corals was much easier than encrusting coral. I would say they are functional and keep me dry, but this comes at the sacrifice of feel and movement overall I would say it's an avg product.
Kent Sea Squirt Coral Feeder: I've always used a turkey baster and I get annoyed having to put my hands in the tank to feed my corals on the sand bed, this is pretty much a glorified turkey baster that extends up to 3ft! I can now stay dry feeding my corals. This product however is intended to feed smaller particles of food think bottled plankton and cycopeze, it cannot slurp up mysis or even brine without being clogged then discharging the food rapidly at your corals. If you don't mind the extra effort I took a dremel to mine and extended the opening dramatically it is now great for feeding lps larger peices of food. I really like this product and it's also easy to store as it's extendable and retractable, I felt it was rather useless until I modified it slightly.
