Cleaning a tank

[convict94]

i'd do it for like $200 if i didn't know the person. why can't people clean their own tank? its a responsability that you have to withhold when you own fish. i evjoy cleaning my fishtank once in a while but sometimes its a nuesence.

The same reason that dog walkers exist. All the perks of having the pet, without any of the responsibility.

Billable rate @ $15 / hour x 5hours x 2 people = $150 minimum.

Figure out a hourly rate, how much are you worth? My rate is $65 per hour for my freelance. Unless it's a regular gig then it gets bid as a flat rate.

how old are you?

18 now, i was 15 when i was cleaning my grandmas tank.

It would take some of the fun out of it being someone elses tanks.

Charge $150 for all that work, and if she doesn't pay..take a tank as payment

 

[Aquarium_Fish]

wow - at the prices some have mentioned - I wouldn't get much work!

I think 20 to 25 an hour per person.

Then again - when I had the 210 moved from one location to my house - it cost about $55.00 an hour for 2 people.

Exactly. If people dont have enough spare time to devote an hour a week to mantainance They should just give up.

Spot on. I dont know why some people bother.

mike dunagan I dont see why you couldnt charge $25 an hour to cover the both of yours time and materials.

She can not clean them right now... I make 35 hr my self, so I would not work for really less than that. The store she normally uses which was to busy would charge 4 dollars a gallon. I just cut the middle man... It was 350. She set the price... She wanted to pay more but I lowered it. Really if it was less than 200 for the amount of work that goes into her tanks, I would not do it. I glady clean my own tanks.
