Just curious but what should I expect to pay to have someone service my tank once every two weeks? I have a 90 gallon tank with a 30 gallon sump. Unfortunately, work and my wife pregnant with twins is going to force me to hire a service or sell off my livestock. Just don't have the time right now to spend a lot of time with my tank.

I think like 45.00 to 50.00 a week.

Reef - mostly LPS with some softies and a few SPS.

the industry "standard" for a reef tank is around $2 a gallon a month.

I just have someone change the water only. 40 g (20 g from one tank , 10 g from another two tanks) per month for 50 dollars
