It brings the glass in close — a focal range of roughly 3 to 12 in (7.5 to 30 cm) — for checking coral polyps, spotting early signs of disease or pests, and for close-up aquarium photography, without an alga scraper's magnet strength dragging across the glass at the wrong moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 in optical-grade lens\u003c\/strong\u003e — a wide viewing portal with no centre-dot obstruction, for a clear, magnified view rather than a keyhole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks through glass or acrylic up to 20 mm (3\/4 in)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the single most important spec on this product.

It's an optical-grade magnifying lens, so it enlarges what you're looking at as well as letting you get physically closer to the glass than your eye could focus comfortably on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it for photography?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — it's one of the main uses buyers report, since the flat, distortion-free acrylic and close focal range suit a phone or camera lens held against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this the same as a Flipper cleaning magnet?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Flipper also makes magnetic algae-cleaning tools, but the DeepSee range is a viewer only — it has no scraper pad and isn't designed to clean the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Flipper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55293352706339,"sku":"FLIPDEEPSEEMAX-CL","price":177.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/deepsee-clear-max-viewer-wit-43505619501347.webp?v=1790235418","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/deepsee-clear-max-viewer-with-5-lens","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
