FAQ

We use an Up-To pricing system. Price could be anywhere from $90-$150 depending on the size of the aquarium.

For saltwater aquariums we charge $2 a gallon in addition to the base service.

Short answer is unmatched quality, service, and affordability. 

Long answer: Reef Route Aquatics isn’t driven by money. This company started on accident. We started out by helping others on the internet for free. Our original goal was to improve the hobby by assisting and growing the hobby. We didn’t start charging until we were asked to come into a home or business to perform actual physical work. We are always looking to add more value to what we do, and when you start out by loving and helping, the service can’t be compared. Our aquarium service is unmatched!

UP-TO pricing is more or less based on the amount of work done, versus price per gallon. 

I use UP-TO tiers to help keep the average cost of aquarium service down.  In some cases, it’s a real money saver, but others not so much. 

Example: A client has a 10-gallon, freshwater, fish only aquarium that they need serviced every month. Our lowest tier is UP-TO 55 Gallons for $55. This isn’t really cost effective for them, but once you factor in driving, materials, gas, equipment, insurance, and labor, charging a $1 per gallon is at a loss for the company, and I couldn’t afford to help anyone else out. However, if a client with a 55-gallon aquarium needs service on a regular basis, it would work out to $1 per gallon. 

Unfortunately, we can’t give a quote until we see the amount of work that needs to be done. Our service agreements and UP-TO pricing are based on regular visits for aquarium maintain on the system. If an aquarium hasn’t been serviced for a long time, it could mean a lot more work. 

I use lawn, or grass cutting as the best example. If it costs $30 a week to maintain your yard, and you let it go for a month? It’s a whole new job to get it back to that level again. Same can be said for aquarium cleaning. 

YES! However, prices may vary due to different situations, conditions, and additional responsibilities. Aquarium maintenance sometimes has other challenges versus residential. 

Our lowest price for regular Aquarium service is $90.00 and up. Aquarium cleaning requirements will be discussed at the time of your free consultation.
