Recommendations for Maintanence service in Berkeley?

[kalare]

I've been away for college and then working for a total of around 7 years now, and my old reef at home is suffering under parental care. They used to be good, but my parents are getting old and letting things slide.

Can anyone recommend a service to come in one or two times a month and do some routine stuff for a reasonable rate? I have both a reef and a planted tank. Not large, 80g and 50g, respectively.

Thanks!

New Alameda Aquatics used to (not sure if they still) service tanks, though not sure if they go all the way over to Berkeley, but worth a try.

Thanks, I'll give them a call. There's got to be some service out there though? Anything not associated with an LFS? I'm guessing LFS services are super expensive.

Typically non LFS service companies charge more the LFS service. Most service companies charge around $75 to $150 an hour and $75 is rare

check references and verify liability insurance.
