Following up with the Japanese scene, I had purchased a long time ago a kit to make a pond - with gravel, rocks, plants and fish. However, the recipient was more intended for a garden or an outside scene, so I opted for doing an aquarium instead.
I was surprised when I caught myself thinking that Reutter boxes looked very much like an aquarium. You just need to turn them upside down, both the clear plastic cover and the base:

| Reutter box without the brand paper |
 |
| ... and turned upside down |
It didn't take me long to design the aquarium.
I was nervous about mixing the resin for the "water", but I had brought home graduated cylinder to help with measurements. I had to do 40 ml of water and that was too much for a couple of 5 ml syringes, which was what I had at home. It turned out OK, and I poured the mixed resin in the aquarium:

| I was hoping the fish would float, but it didn't happen... |
 |
| Still, I love the composition! |
I set everything apart so the resin would settle without incidents. This morning I checked up on the tank, and I noticed that the resin had yellowed a bit, but not too much - it looks a little like murky water, but still everything can be seen clearly:
I am very happy with it. My furniture is still stuck at Customs, so I have rescued an old table to put it on until the new ones come.
