ReefSource -- your #1 resource in the marine aquarium biz...

not sure he is coming on this venture....he like the water more....would be nice, but he has another job now and is big into retirement benefits and 401k, and insurances....

All Things Aquatic

Sea Dwelling Creatures

Fish and Reef

...I think those exist..the last two do, and the first one, while very cool, (we had planned an Everything Water store once...fishing gear/aquariums/pools etc...) has the word aquatic. There is locally Aquatic Life, Aquatic World, Aqualand Aquariums, and another one...all within 3 miles...

I kind of like Reef Source...it made the short list...

Key Aquatics
Key Saltwater Superstore
Key Saltwater
Come here, Spend some $$$

only on NR....I could probably make a killing selling Doritos there though.


No Baloney with Maloney - that is more of a slogan...

Reef Crew...good name for a service company....if we had two different names for the service company and the store...we might use it, will certainly give you the prize if we do....

Reef Wranglers

soilent reef

YESS!!! glad u like it!
should i come up with s'more 4 ya guys?

btw the snails u sent are doing good!!

I like that.... Seriously though we are going to do the slash prices thing. I think we have come to realize that people in the hobby, (myself included), would by 3 times as much if the prices were 50% off. Sure there is limited space in an aquarium, but there is a lot of tanks in the area and ReefCleaners alone can keep up the shop, we are already paying for warehouse space anyway...



We are also getting a liverock site soon, and will call that biz "Reef Rocks", so...

Reef Source
Reef Rocks
Reef Cleaners
and maybe Reef Crew

all kind of go together. But yeah come up with more names, the more the merrier...it is on a short list hasn't been selected yet...

Supertankers

Reef Stop

Blue Collar Reef Supply and Services?

Just saw Blue Collar comedy tour

reef stop-
my brother had mentioned that one...there was some reason it didn't work...not sure why, but that is something we were thinking about, so it is along the lines so to speak...

blue collar reef supply and services - i dont think we will get that much signage space.

Maloney marine imports

Reef zone

tropic reef care

One stop reef supply "for all things saltwater". kinda sounds like a chain store, and I even gave you a slogan lol.

Dangit John! You have an awesome last name - you should use it.

Maloney Reef Supply
Maloney Fine Reef Collectors
Maloney Aquarium Service
Maloney's Mollusks, Mantis, & Mermaids

- they know me around here, my name doesn't carry as much weight.

For one reason or another shops perceived to be Mom and Pop aquarium stores dont do as well in my area, compared to those that seem to be more "cookie cutter" for lack of a better word.

Tropical Traders
The Reef Crest
Saltwater Savvy

i like tropical traders...short list

then how about just marine imports with out maloney

we will probably have some native stuff too, I like the Atlantic stuff...plus we are in a fisherman's paradise..so marine anything kind of comes off as another boat shop, I have at least 14 places within a stone's throw that are "marine" this and that.... Maybe like marine fish store or something....

I like this one!

Maybe JM Exotic Import/Export LLC, SA, AG, Inc ?

Johns Wharf. lol

I'm a web/graphic/print designer, so I tend to think graphically ... imagine a circular sign/logo that has a sort of nostalgic look to it.

"Saltwater Supply Co."

With a logo similar in specs. to this:



I personally love "Reef" in the title, but I don't think the general public would understand what you sell ... if you are a brick and mortar shop, you'll want as many people in the store as possible. Using "Saltwater" rather than "Reef" might be more universal.

Adding "Co." at the end of it gives it a "well-established-business" charm.

Reef Odd-e-sea or Reef Odd-a-sea

Salt Creep anything has my vote!

Specific Gravitas
Maloney's Abalones
Petite Jean
Reef Bistro
