Great idea!
Maybe mixing this with lava lamp (mason jar lava lamp, especially) will be enough for this to be more awesome. (Use shells with same color of the wax)
Shells will freely float about and give it some more feelings.
(If you don't like lava lamp, try glitter lamps with low-heat heating element)

That's a great idea! It would also be cool to replace the shotgun shells with shiny .22's! That way there would be more surface area to reflect!

[SugarCluster]

To compensate with the weight of shells, you can fill the inside with hard plastic foam and some bearings so it floats freely while not floating to the surface or sinking into the bottom.

That way you can achieve the "faux aquarium" effect!
