I am going to buy a microscope to identify some Dino’s in my tank. How zoomed in does it need to be so that you guys can help me identify it?
TIA :)

I went with a standard one like from high school. 10x, 40x, 100x. If you're going thru Amazon, DO NOT get the one that comes in a case for around $40. I got that .. and then went to eBay for a real one around $60.
 
Awesome, thanks bro. The magnification needed is 100x?
Lol I was a bio teacher, so I'll tell you to start with 10 x and then work your way up. Since you can see the plant with the naked eye, you won't need THAT much magnification
