You might want to join a few Mac discussion forums to let folks know that 
it is available.

I'd expect a handmade clock like that to go for several times that.

Keep in mind that if he were to start selling these in quantity, he would 
need Apple's permission to use their logo.

The hardest part of making a Macquarium is getting the tank watertight 
and keeping it watertight.  One option is to instead make a Macterrarium, 
which isn't as touchy about being watertight.  (And you don't like fish 
anyway.)
