judyok Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 What could be used to see objects from a distance as if you are looking up close with a magnifying glass. I have binoculars, which are nice, but they don't exactly magnify the way I would prefer especially with seeing details on tiny shrimp.

judyok Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I've seen ads for that product. I'll have to save my pennies for awhile in order to get that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schaferaquatics Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Its a lot but an awesome tool to have. The quality of the mag is perfect no distortion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpie Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 So, for a 22 gal, would this portal be overkill or does it not matter the size of the tank. My 22 gal is 36x12x12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schaferaquatics Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Ive had them on 2.5g (takes up whole tank) if you aquarium is acrylic be carefull not to drag it through your substrate as it will scratch the wall then.
