Yeah, my first thought was of some sort of slave trader, or something. Also, to the original thread starter, I personally don't like anything ending with Aquatics. I saw Eastern Aquatics and thought of a Hindu Plumber. And the other Aquatics suggestions have all made me think of plumbing and/or swimming pools.

Gear your name to your target market. If your targeting serious reefers thn I agree the word aquatics should be in the name. Blue Realm Aquatics for example. If your targeting the fish tank in the kids bedroom then you want something cutesy.

Considering the money put out on a reef system the income and/or obsession level of your clients would seem to me to warrent a showroom like atmosphere. Clean and attractive with decent aquarium furniture and professional tanks along with a complete setup crew and some knowledgable advice. I would have some frag tanks or some other way to offer at least a few deals as good as the online stores to lock in a customer base. I think alot of LFS lose the serious hobbiest who knows where to shop and can run a computer because of the huge markups they have to have to make the rent.

How about "The Money Shredder"?

I always thought it would be a good idea for a LFS to offer to accept delivery from Online stores for a fee. This would work out well for both the LFS and the consumer. The LFS accepts the livestock and places them in some sort of holding tank until that evening when the customer can get there. I know I would purchase much more online if I knew that it wasn't going to just sit on my steps until I get home... Of course, the logistics of having some livestock die would have to be worked out (you know it is going to happen). Just a thought.

"debbie does fiji" and "wet dreams". i almost lost my drink.

i think you should come up with a professional sounding, fun name. you can be cleaver, professional, and a little light without being cheesy or cute. its important though. the name. if you ask me. which i guess you did sorta.
