Anyone find something that they like? Only ones of decent size / magnification are metal. Cheap metal that will rust all over my tank. Be nice for looking at incoming corals and inspecting random parts of reef life.

Looking for something 4x or more. Haven't had much luck finding anything.

I was looking into getting a jewelers magnifying glass, they are small, but powerful.

Right now im using a glass piece from an old school projector, works great.

I think that I got mine at Harbor Freight. It's cheap, plastic, and not too bad for our use. i wouldn't mind a stronger magnification, but for the price I paid, it's what it is.

I emailed them a long time ago and they said that they were working on that but I never got back to see what they did. I will have to check that out again, thanks for reminding me.
