Maxspect Pastel Reef Magnifier

Maxspect Pastel Reef Magnifier

The Maxspect Pastel Reef Magnifier is a magnetic coral magnifier for reef hobbyists who want to inspect their corals up close and take clear, natural-looking photos without post-production editing. It has built-in soft-tone lighting and attaches to the outside of your aquarium glass, so it's always ready when you want a closer look.

Key Benefits

• Designed specifically for hobbyists who want to view and photograph corals easily
• 3x magnification with a focal range of 7.6–20 cm (3–8")
• Built-in soft-tone lighting that supplements your tank lighting for viewing and photographing corals
• Helps you capture natural-looking coral photos without needing editing skills
• Strong neodymium magnets hold it to the glass, so it stays at the ready
• Optional snap-on lenses let you fine-tune the look of your photos

How to Use

Place the magnifier against the outside of the aquarium glass. The strong neodymium magnets hold it in position, so you can view a coral under 3x magnification or line up a photo. The built-in soft-tone lighting supplements your existing lighting while you look or shoot. Keep the coral within the 3–8" focal range for the clearest view.

Optional Snap-on Lenses

If you struggle to take clear, colour-accurate coral photos, the snap-on lens kits are made for this magnifier. Each kit has two lenses, one orange and one yellow, so you can choose whichever gives the best result for your corals. The lens kits are sold separately and are highly recommended to complement the magnifier.
