Curious how to bid........

[ReeferRob]

I know there are a bunch of guys and or gals around here that have maintenance accounts either on the side part time or as their main bread maker for their homes.

I know it's a shot in the dark, but I was curious if you could help me figure out what all goes into bidding on a job?

I've recently lost a bunch of hours at work and in order to keep my love of this hobby going and my current tanks, I have to figure something out.
I'm extremely hesitant, as my tank is my current labor of love and I don't want to ruin that. I already did with my career, rather part time career at this point. LOL

Thanks

My LFS charges 1 dollar per gal. up to 100 gal. After that there is a small discount. They have told me if they are not making 100 bucks an hour it's not worth their time. So you have to get in get done and get out. That includes things like water changes, carbon, and other basic stuff. Most tanks are done twice a month. Good luck man. 1smile1
