    Tank service

    Hey there, long time no post! So I had a customer ask me this week if I knew of any tank cleaning services that are both reputable/responsible and affordable. He had someone taking care of his tanks that apparently didn't know what they were doing... Anyway, I told him I had no clue, but that I would ask on here. Anyone have any leads? I know the best thing is to take care of your own tanks, buuuut, some people aren't into that aspect .... Any info appreciated! Thanks.

    Some LFS offer a tank cleaning service.

          I'm sure Sunny would agree that as OCD as I am about cleaning my tanks, I'd probably be awesome at it, lol.

                Someone definitely needs to clean the tank at CC's Cafe. I love to eat there, but hate to see the fish tank. I don't think it's been cleaned since the hurricane. Even the algae has algae.

                    Best question is, is it salt or fresh, then go from there. I could clean any freshwater tank. Put me with a saltwater tank and Im clueless.

                        Prosper and Shannon at Aqua Zoo do tank maint. Don't know if they'd be willing to take on any new customers during the store move, though.

                        What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

                          Sorry I haven't replied in a while, my Mom isn't doing too well right now and family comes first. Thanks for all the replies! I didn't ask him a ton of questions, so what I do know is that he's probably in my area (290 & Hwy 6-ish), I think the tanks are downstairs, both freshwater. Beyond that, don't have much more info. Trying to keep it a simple favor doesn't always work

                          Names/Companies/Phone #s or any leads are appreciated....? Hope I'm not coming across as short or ungrateful for ya'lls help, but as I mentioned, my heart's not really in this right now. :icon_hang:
