      A great magnifying glass

      I've been searching for a good magnifying glass to view my corals.. everything was too small and I could never see corals near the rear of the tank..

      This one works the best so far if anyone is interested in getting one.

      yes dhuynh, please do go to AW and let us know what you like better. I was thinking about buying the flipper glass myself until you posted your magnifier.

      Why do you always post these things after I spent money on a new one? They are not cheap! 😂

      I like the magnifier I posted still. When to AW to check out the flipper and it was good.

      Here's what I like about the magnifier I posted:

      1. Take pictures.. you don't get that lens flare effect because the viewing area isn't a circle.
      2. I feel like I can see further into my tank. I guess it has better depth (IMO).
      3. Has a bigger viewing area that when pressed against my face, I can use BOTH my eyes, instead of squinting with one eye . Make for a better experience IMO.

      Cons.

      1. It's made of plastic(?) so it easier to scratch.
      2. No magnet on the inside, if you want to take pics, you'll have to hold it up or prop it up somehow. But I actually don't like the magnet inside the tank of the flipper.. too easy to have that drop.. then you hand is in the tank again.
