Asking for a friend (AKA me) who is traveling a lot for work:
Any recommendations for a solid and trustworthy service to maintain a tiny tank (~60g total volume) in the bay area? Some intensive plumbing setup too would be good (eg. sump in another room and pipes/electronics going through walls).
Location: Albany, California
Tasks:
Tank Setup
1. Setup tank
2. Plumb through one wall to opposite side to an external sump system
3. Setup all the plumbing (I will have most of the equipment, though might need PVC / connectors)
4. Setup the electrical neatly (I can never avoid a total gnarly nest no matter how hard I try)
5. Hang light securely over tank
6. Plumb the ATO reservoir
Maintenance
Twice a month, with one being a few simple things and the latter doing some more maintenance work
1. Water change, clean glass, clear skimmer, check systems
2. Same as 1, but adding: clean filter socks, change reactor media (phosban, charcoal), clean sump compartments and acrylic, test water, adjust any dosing
