Tanks 75 gallons and up

Large tank labor

Bigger tanks mean a lot more heavy water and waste to haul out and dump. That extra work is charged as labor, on top of the regular maintenance rate.

MaintenanceCleaning, filter changes and getting everything running the way it should. Usually done in under an hour.

05FAQ

Common questions

How often should my tank be serviced?

Most freshwater tanks do well every two weeks. Reef systems and heavily stocked tanks usually need weekly care. We recommend a schedule after the first visit.

Why is there a labor charge on bigger tanks?

Maintenance and labor are two different things. Maintenance is cleaning, filter changes and getting everything working right, which usually takes under an hour. Labor is hauling and dumping all the heavy water and waste, and on tanks 75 gallons and up that can add an extra hour or more. Labor is $1 per gallon for 75 to 125 gallons and $2 per gallon over 125 gallons.

How do I figure out how many gallons my tank is?

Measure the length, width and height in inches, multiply them together and divide by 231. Or just type the numbers into the tank size finder in the pricing calculator or the quote form and it does the math for you.

Do I need to be home during visits?

No. Many clients provide a key or entry code. Notes are sent after every visit so you know exactly what was done.

Do you bring water and supplies?

Yes. Conditioned water, test kits and cleaning supplies are included. Filter media and specialty additives are billed at cost.

Do you service businesses?

Yes. Offices, lobbies, restaurants, clinics and retail. Larger and commercial systems are quoted after a site visit.

Do you take care of ponds?

Yes. Koi ponds and water features receive cleaning, pump and filter service and seasonal water checks.
