TANK MATIANCE FEES ? HOW MUCH ?

I am experienced and HONEST which gives me a leg up on everyone else
because ALL the people who are involved in this that I know either lie like
rugs and / or POACH the local reef ( I am in Fort Lauderdale Florida ) for
specimens to sell. They set up systems that kill the specimens so they can
keep selling new ones. I just want to see if the fees being charged by
these people are way out of line. They charge $ 300 a month for a 125
gallon reef tank and $ 200 a month for sal****er aquariums and $ 150 a
month for freshwater aquariums with ONE visit a week . Gravel cleaning two
times a month , a 30 % water change once a month and test ONLY the PH on a
weekly basis. I will run exhaustive tests once a week. They also have ONLY
that joke of a filter ( wet dry ONLY ).

Please do not go into "business" if you do not already know the answers to
these questions. It is obvious that you are interested in earning a living
while working for yourself, but your post clearly says, "I have no clue
what
I am doing".

Asking us for pricing information in regards to what you should charge for
your experience is ridiculous if not reckless. I am surprised someone
hasn't
already gone off on you. You had better hope that your name is well known
in
the area where you are going to do business because anyone with a clue
wouldn't hire you if it isn't, I wouldn't hire you. Risk losing thousands
of
dollars to a guy who doesn't even know where to start charging let alone a
guy that doesn't know how to spell maintenance? No thanks.

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.
