fair price to charge for cleaning friends 55G?

Since he's too lazy to clean it maybe you can talk him out of the tank? :)
 
Beer and pizza sounds good... although my boss charges $60 per hour for tank maintenance, just so you know. :) Oh, but make him buy you good beer at least, none of that domestic light stuff.
 
Or at least, good pizza...

:grinyes:

I'd rather talk to him and persuade him to start maintaining his tank if he wants the pleasure to watch a tank full of healthy fish. If not, then the tank should go to someone else who is more responsible to the hobby like you.;)
 
I agree. I've helped many friends with maintenance and tearing down/setting up tanks during moves. I wouldn't think of charging them anything monetarily.Just tell them to provide a 12pack and have some fun while you do it.

There is a difference between someone who has to move (always a lot of work) or someone who's simply to lazy to refresh some water every week or month.
