    This is probably a long shot, but does anyone have an idea on how many gallons these are? I've been thinking about starting a pico tank and these vases were at Walmart in the floral section near the fake flowers.

    about 12 - 14" high...4" on each side(I think). So this one may be about 1 gallon.

    10 - 12" high...6 - 8" in diameter?

    12" in diameter...maybe 4" deep in the middle?

    Volume in a cube is width X length X height. To get gallons divide by 231.

    Volume in a cylinder is Pi X radius squared x height.

    Sorry 2in10...I was being lazy. I used the calculator on here to find the volume of the first one though.


    Thanks, bioreefdude.

    I really like the shape of the first one and the last one. The tall one would be difficult to scape, but a shallow bowl would make a pretty sweet tide pool for LPS.

    Thanks, I'll check out Jo-anns next time I go to the mall.

    Nothing is wrong seabass. :)

    I was thinking if I do the pico it would be for my bedroom.
