How about......"Bringing up nearly 2 year old threaders"!

lol.... If you haven't named it yet I like the Home and Office Aquatics.
 
All in one Aqua solutions?
 
Well, I didn't read page 2 so forgive me it it's been suggested, but I aways thought of opening a shop called Age of Aquariums/The life Aquadic. I had two names so I would just go with both.

No one had better even think about stealing them for use in the Greater Austin Area or else... but anywhere else is though.

It would be a Fish Store/Clothing boutique run by my sister and me... me on the fish and her on the clothes.

Funy story, I came up with the idea when I had to make my room look nice at the spur of the moment, but I had a fish tank whose stand did not have doors at the moment, so it looked really trashy. I also had alot of button-up shirts laying around my room draped over everything. A Lightbulb flashed and I just hung the shirts from the stand and it was a hit... everyone loved it, and no more looking through my closet for a shirt to werar. That would basically be the set up in the store, one side would be a fish store with clothes appearing sparatically and the other side would be for clothes with a few awesome and unique fish tanks littering the place. The middle would be an anything goes anarchy of fish and clothes.

You know, I should have made my own thread for this.
 
If you rent fish tanks out( not 100% sure) you will be liable if the tank mafunctions and may have to pay 1000$s of repairs, dont rent just sell.

office aquariums

are you planning on selling them the tanks and fish and then maintaining them or renting the systems and fish to them?

two very different ideas. i personaly would go with system and fish rental because it would lower a businesses intial cost of having an aquarium and also create a higher and more stable income.

i beleive that many people would be turned off from having a great and big aquarium if it cost them thousands up front and then maintenance on top of that rather than a couple hundred a month.

you could offer rotating stocking if you owned the fish. so a office could have a set of fish for a couple of months and then pic out a different stocking list for the next couple months.

(not that i have ever thought of opening my own business);)
