Default TANK MATIANCE FEES ? HOW MUCH ?

In Los Angeles, there is an LFS (in the city of glendale to be specific)
that provides monthly maintenance at $50 a trip (people usually get once a
month). They charge the same for SW or FW tanks. The charge a 5% fee on
items they deliver (if you need supplies, they charge 5% to get it to you on
the trip).

I am starting a aquarium maintained service and am trying to figure out

how
much to charge. I have aquarium size as a variable and three types of
aquariums to consider. Reef tanks ( the most desired it seems and
expensive ) , salt water aquariums and fresh water aquatics. Any one

know
where I can get a fee schedule to extract a scale that considers the
variables so I know what to charge ? I see people paying $ 300 a month

for
a 100 gallon reef tank but how much for say a 300 gallon reef tank ? Or

100
gallon salt water aquarium ? or a 300 gallon salt water aquarium ? Or a
100 gallon fresh water aquarium or a 300 gallon fresh water aquarium ?
Thanks.
