Where To Purchase Inexpensive Glass Bowls, Glass Vases and Glass Cube Tanks?

[Fireman77]

I am just beginning the hobby of aquascaping. My main aim is create plants only displays in bowls, vases and small cube tanks. I would like some recommendations as to where I can purchase online the items mentioned above at inexpensive prices. Starting the hobby I have a lot of items to purchase so I would like to start with some budget glassware. I have been informed of Horizon Aquatics but unfortunately their prices are too high for what I want at the moment. If anyone could send me some online links to websites I would be very grateful.

I have the Ikea glass cylinders that i use constantly for floating plants and other experiments.
They are a pack of three. Really thin glass but i clang em around and they are fine!
Cant go too far wrong.

In the States, Target often has a lot of great choices.

Not helpful to you, just for anyone in the audience over here. EBay is usually worth a look.

You could try looking for large Salad bowls or Punch Bowls also...in retail supermarkets.

Thank you. That's a good idea. I can think of a few companies in addition to supermarkets like DIY stores and the Range. I think I'll spend some of this weekend having a bit of a search or two online!
