What exactly would I be looking for and how strong does the magnification really need to be? Heck this little $15 portable scope seems like a joke, but sounds like it actually works quite well. It’s only 60x-120x though. There’s also a 250x one for $20. Think that would work? See obviously spending $100 on a microscope isn’t much, but you gotta realize if I bust out a microscope like that, my wife is going to think I’m off the deep end for sure.

Have to admit it’s a little personal bias. It’s about what I’d get for myself admittedly. But you have much less expensive options. And Dino’s aren't super tiny like @billyocean said.

doesn’t that much. No need spend $100 on a microscope. This one will probably be fine

That’s fair. It’s not that I can’t afford a more expensive one, but in my mind now, this thing is going to get used one time and end up in a drawer. If I need a nicer one later on, I’ll look then. Thanks for the recommendation though!

Exactly.

You can just put your phone up to the eyepiece and take some pics

@Kasrift or anyone really. Sorry YouTube makes video look even worse but a short clip of the flow I’ve had on my Tenuis. Thoughts?

Also I just kicked up a bunch of sand playing in diatoms/Dino’s sorry

Is that with adjusting and increasing flow

It looks fine...mine are all set on random so it's fast and slow and everything in between. As long as it's not blowing directly at it in the same direction constantly it should be fine

Went to my bank today so hubby can use the ATM AND someone stole the ATM machine with chains and a truck
Brilliant! I bet they saw the countdown for the next SBB sale. Decided to start saving early.

Ughh.... So been at the er last three hours. Waiting to be transferred to the burn unit... Our grill decided it didn't like me anymore, and spit a huge fireball all over me, made me back flip into the pool.

Luckily looks like only second degree burns. Burnt half my beard and eyebrows off though.

It was all my fault for trying to just light it through the side door instead of opening the lid. I was sitting right in front of the door. That with probably to much lighter fluid... It's what happens when you're not paying attention 100% and get complacent.

Don't be a dummy like me, I got lucky I'm not burned up worse.
