Magnifying glasses?
R there any magnifying glasses out there u can use to view coral in out tanks? Most glasses need to be very close to what u want to view. Didn't know if anyone found one u can view something being farther away from the object u want to view?

I saw a lady at the baltimore aquarium use a wand and her computer to magnify inside the tank. Not to be silly it was like a xray technician thing. Said you can get at Radio Shack.

The larger the magnifying glass the farther away it will focus. Just get the largest hand held glass you can find. Try a sewing center. They should have one that is at least 5 or 6 inches for around $20.
