How much who you charge if someone wanted you to clean their tank and check their water parameters? 10, 29, 55, 100, 125, etc gallons respectively?
How much would you charge for a fish tank cleaning?

I have 6 tanks,one 30g,two 55g,two 75g and one 180 gallon,and would not pay more than $20 to have them all cleaned. It's too easy to do myself.

I'd charge about $10 per hour, depending on the size of the tank. For a 10-55, I probably would only charge like $5 per hour (since I'm so used to doing wc's completely manually on my 220g, maintenance on a tank under 55 gallons would be nothing to me), but for like 75+ I'd say around $10 per hour. For 200+ it'd start getting a lot more expensive.
depends on SW or FW too.
you would have to calculate gas and a lot of other stuff. Make sure you don't cut yourself short, people pay a lot for fish tank cleanings. I would call an area around that does cleanings, and as them for a quote, then go a little cheaper.

I know a guy that charged about $50 a hour for med. (55-75) and had a lot of costumers. But he basically ran the tank and all they had to do was feed the fish. But that was saltwater so I am not sure how much he would have charged for FW.
$50-$75 hrs or $1-$1.50 per gallon depends on tank size, but never charge less than $20 regarless how small the tank. Your job is skill, not general label.
