Man I hope you get more $ for doing that. I take care of 2 FW tanks at a retirement home and I'm under chargeing them to keep them clean and neat looking. Both tanks 55gal. I charge $100 a month and I come in every 3 weeks.
Why am I doing it for so cheap???? I worked there for 7 yrs before coming a house husband. The company that cleaned them before I was charging them $175 a month to come clean every 3 weeks. They decided that they couldn't afford it any more so thats when I jumped in and said I'll clean them for less and it will keep the residents and family members happy. Been doing this for almost 2 yrs now. I took on one guy and now going to try to get a few more tanks out there atdoctors offices. For upkeep on that 115 gallon your should at least get $200 a month just to check the lvls and keep it clean. They supply EVERYTHING except the test kits.
But the experence alone is well worth it. Learn as you go and dont screw up lol.
