[angel not fish]

I'm offering to do tank maintenance or tank sitter. As well as tank set up or breaking down 

20 years in the hobby.

Greetings Angel Not Fish; your tank looks great.

 

I am in Frederick, about a half hour from you.  I grew up in Potomac.  I just bought a winter vacation home in China and will be looking for someone to check in on my 150 gallon reef once or twice a month, starting around early December to around late March each year.  Looking for someone to clean the glass, clean the skimmer, refill the fish feeder and maybe do a water test.  I get txt notifications if there is a leak, power out, skimmer cup full and so on. 

 

Last trip to China, the person watching my house didn't know much about reefing and let me know that the power went out during a big storm - but it's back on now.  The home generator came on but the fuse to the reef tank pumps tripped and did not come back on.  Lights were on a different fuse that did not trip.  They told me two weeks later that they didn't need to clean the skimmer because there were no bubbles.  Lost everything; only have some frags and a few small fish now.  I have since added the status of the fuses to my smart home monitoring and notifications.

 

PM me if this is something you would be interested in doing, or I can reach back out to you as we get closer to December.
