Magnifying Glass

[RRafael]

Anyone know where I can get a good magnifying glass to get up close and personal with everything in my tank?

Thank you, Rich-

I use a plain old 5x magnifying glass and it work great for the first 5-6 inches of the tank. After 4 years of doing this, I discovered that if I wear my distance glasses, the magnifying glass works for the back 5-6 inches of my tank.

If you have money to burn, you could also look into a mesoscope (do an RC search for details).

You can find one on the net or be patient and look around. I found that the 2x 5" diameter magnifying lenses are good. It's not the power, it's the size of the glass that makes viewing clearer and easier on the eyes.
