Answer 2

Where I'm at it can vary between $20 and $50 an hour (I think I have the wrong job!)

Usually they send someone out to give you an estimate if you call and ask. Some charge a flat fee regardless. Others will give you a break if you're a regular customer. Some will do work weekly, biweekly, or monthly, depending on your setup.

Here's a website I found that lists their prices: http://oceanblue2u.com/forms/services.htm

You might find it's cheaper to do it yourself!

One time is expensive. On a contract, it gets cheaper. I know someone that works at an independent pet shop doing maintenance and set-up for them.
They have a minimum charge of $40 for weekly for routine maintenance. The hourly rate is $40 as well for larger projects.
Setup and helping with a extremely messed up tank, still the $40 hourly rate, but a two hour minimum.
If it is a one shot deal, $60 per hour, 2 hour minimum. My friend is paid $15 per billable hour and mileage for travel. He also have pretty good health benefits.

Answer 4

Our dentist has a service come in about every 2 weeks, looks like a 55 gal tank, not salt water. She told us that they pay $25 each time. I was waiting one time when he was there. He checked the filters. Wiped down the tank, added some water and looked like he tested the water. It all took less than 15 minutes
