Hello,
I am going to be setting up a walstad tank sometime in the next month. My wife has gotten behind the idea in a roundabout sorta way.
Her one requirement is that it not look like a fish tank. So my plans of having a uns 60p are kinda gone. I showed her a picture of one and she flatly refused. She specifically wants something roundish. I have spent the last week scouring the web for large vases/fishbowls/wedding centerpieces etc. So far I have only been able to find 2 real options with an honorary mention of a third.
If I were to pull the trigger today I would go with what I found in my first 3 minutes of searching. This WVG 19" bubble vase. Holds something like 8 gallons I believe. This is the biggest practical option I have found.
The next best is smaller but with a better form factor. Its this 16" vase. I like that its squashed but my concern is that it might not be deep enough. At only 7.5" deep (or less once the thickness of the glass is taken into account) its only going to give me 4.5" of water once I add gravel and soil substrate which is not much.
The honorary mention goes to the perfect option which I would gladly select if it wasn't 450 dollars. And also out of stock... This giant centerpiece vase.
This last one took several days to uncover and I was initially excited thinking I could find it elsewhere for cheaper. Unfortunately that has not been the case. Everyone charges the same and most are out of stock.
So now I turn to you fellow forum goers. Does anyone have an option better then the WGV 19" bubble vase? By better I mean at least as larger and preferably bigger.
