Do you agree that the flat bottom flexes differently when the box is 
glued to it than when there is no box glued to it?

If you don't accept this effect then you're right - there is/was no 
buoyant force.

I'm claiming (personally) that an experiment will show an upward 
force acting on the bottom of the aquarium when the box is glued to 
it.

Let the measurements begin?!?!?!
