Interest is there. A specialist (not some kid from the LFS) would be key.
A tiered fee structure should be implemented. Size of tank, FO, FOWLER or reef, and customer maintenance expectations should drive the fees. You wouldnt charge the same to maintain and change water on a nano vs a larger reef. SPS tanks would require more monitoring than a mixed reef.
Have the customer check off what they would like maintained and how often. Legally you want a signature, like a contract, and a disclosure of liability. They can purchase insurance from you separately for catastrophic problems.
Think about this... its your $XXXXX.00 investment. For some of us, its our primary interest. Its worth it to pay more to see it in good shape when you get back. Plus you dont want to worry about the tank during your vacation.
