My husband and I are about 10 months into the hobby and our DT is stocked with fish. We are in the process of setting up a QT for new corals and understand that inspection and dipping of new corals is important. What degree of magnification do we need to look for hitchhikers on coral frags? 2X, 3X... or even more than that?
I've done some reading and it seems there is a such thing as "too" much magnification. Seems you have to weigh magnification against ease of use. Too much magnification makes the field of view difficult to work with.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide. I couldn't decide which forum to post this question and figured the 'propagation and aquaculture' folks would most likely use magnifying glasses.
