Why not make your own and save money? Take a sturdy bucket, paint the
inside black. Cut out the bottom leaving an inch or so flange around the
hole. Cut a piece of plexiglass to fit the bottom (including the flange).
Attach it with silicon cement. You can also reinforce it by putting several
bolts through the glass and flange in addition to the glue. Although the
plexiglass will become scratched, a glass bottom will undoubtedly break.
