Im really thinking about getting me a microscope for algae ID im tired of guessing on what the types are in my system but can i find a good enough one for under $100?

A basic 20x stereo scope would work for this and could meet your price point. You can use it for other cool stuff like pod gazing & non aquarium things. Prices go up when you add digital photography options.
