I was there 11 years ago, so this advice might be outdated. I wasn't aware of an aquarium there then, so I guess that's something relatively new...?
As for aquarium shops, I looked into this when I was there. Waste of time. I only found one (in Kahului) and it was tiny. Nothing that you wouldn't have already seen on the continent. I think Tony has it right. Not a big market. Huge aquarium at the shoreline. Maybe it's changed, but I doubt it. An excellent snorkelling spot is in Ahihi-Kin' Au Natural Reserve Area. The spot (is?)/was known locally as "The Aquarium". Just south of Kanahena were the road becomes dirt (maybe it's paved now). Sort of hard to describe from there. Maybe they have signs to the trail now, but then they didn't. I have a note to self in my guidebook saying trail between telephone pole 17 & 18, FWIW. Ya, that kinda thing. Trail hike across lava field is about 20-30 minutes. Worth it if you can find it. My Dad knew someone who lived there. This is how we found out about it.

Thanks for all the input and ideas. I think we're staying in the Wailea area, most likely the Grand Wailea resort or Wailea Beach Resort. Seems to be the best area to go for a snorkel any time you want and I will check out Molokini for a day dive and never had a chance to do a night dive so I will check that out also. There's a few other ideas mentioned above that I'll check into and Tony can make up my itinerary for me
