How much would it cost to clean a 180, 150, 50 and 12 gallon tank.

Gravel vac, clean sump, fill reserve tank, and then fill and add about 10 different chems?

I did it today for someone and wanted to see if I did okay on it... she gave me a price when I was done, will share in a min... took my wife and I 5 hours to do it...
 
i would want around 50 to 100 to do it, unless it was for a family member, then i wouldnt even worry about it.
 
wow if the store did it, would have cost 1500... about 4 dollars a gallon... 50 is way not enough... This was crazy hard work... I mean scrubbing lime off lids and lights and filters... All the chem she used... I was beat when I was done. This amount takes me 2 hours at my place... this was 5 hrs nonstop work... I would never have my setup like it was...She called it reef ready... but it was fresh...
 
maybe im the only person that actually enjoys cleaning my fish tank, it is only a 55 gal but even if it was 1000 gallon, i would still be there once a week cleaning and scrubbing. i have always enjoyed cleaning my tanks.
 
lol, I do not mind the cleaning of my tank at all... My 55 is nothing to clean... Larger tank and being on a ladder makes it so much less fun... It was strange to say real work...
 
i had to clean my grandmas 240 gal once. it was a blast cuz i couldnt touch the back or bottom of the tank unless i was on a step ladder. it was fun tho, she let me put a large mouth in the tank since i cleaned it for her.
 
how old are you?

Anyways, It was tough job... I clean more tanks in a day than this without any problem... just was really really more than I thought it would be...but she was really nice, and paid well...
