need opinions

[jdbassin]

i need to get a new skimmer and some test kits on a limited budget, I need some opinions on the coralife needlewheel skimmer and seachem test kits. I'm not looking for suggestions on what I should buy instead but people who have or do actually use these products and their experiences with them.

anyone???

the seachem kits are okay... somewhat hard to use in many cases. The salifert kits seem to be much more user friendly and at least as accurate (if not more).

There are better needlewheel skimmers in that price range. I don't have the skimmer, so can only go by what others have said.

salifert kits are the way to go

I have a css65. It works well but can be fussy at times. That's the only skimmer I have experience with so I can't really compare. I just bought an octopus NW150. It won't be in use for a few more weeks.
