aquarium service

gasman059 · 01/02/2007, 07:44 AM

I'm considering utilizing some monthly service for my tank. Water changes and so forth any recomendations in terms of service people available and rates.

Yes, I am also very interested. If anyone has a service provider that they are happy with, can you please post some information about them.

Also- while you do not have to give an exact number, it would be very helpful if you could provide an approximate cost per month, your tank size, and frequency of visits.

Thanks!

I have my tank serviced every 3 weeks. Aquarium Concepts in Miami does the service. My tank is 150 gallons they come in do a 40 gallon water change clean my filters, clean the glass, test the water, I supply the carbon or any other products they supply the filter floss. They do an imaculate job and are very carefull with the house. I've never had a problem with them. The service runs me $110 a visit.

how long does it take to service your tank? Is it by the Hr?

gasman059 · 01/02/2007, 12:56 PM

About 1.5 hrs and its a fee not an hourly rate

Robert and Larry at Eco Reef Aquarium in Pompano both do aquarium services. They can be reached at the store at 954-784-3588. They both come highly recommended from the handful of customers of theirs I have spoken to. If you come to the frag swap I'm sure Robert will be there if you would like to speak to him.
