Price for Baby-sitting?

[Chyendra]

I'm going home from collge for christmas break and I didn't want to move my tank again (3 hours away) for the break. Plus i didn't have time to make a seperate trip for it.

 

A girl who works at the LFS (its a really nice place) Has offered to let my bring it to her apparment near-by and take care of it for the month.

 

It's only 6 gallons, and doesn't take alot of care, a few minutes a day to top off water and about a half an hour per week to do a water change.

 

How much should i pay her? I asked her what she wanted and she said it was up to me...

 

has anyone ever watched a tank for someone else who could maybe chime in and help me out.

Umm for a month .... maybe 50$? im not sure ... i have taken care of afew peoples tanks without charge .. but its not like its a hassle...I dont trust most people with my tanks since i know them well because i have built them =) But 40$-50$ is a decent price... plus if they want more you can always say your short of money =X hehe ...^_^

pay her two dollars a day... um thats... lol $56

[Chyendra]

ok, thats what i was thinking, I would give her somewhere like $50-$60, plus leave money to buy R/O water from the lfs.

 

ebin: frags is a great idea, I'd watch someones tank in turn for frags.... but unfortunetly none of my corals are really big enough to frag. They're mostly frags themselves.

 

 

Thanks guys!

lol i would round the sum off to either 50 or 60.... 56 or 52 dollars or something daft just shows ur too bothered and worked out a fair price lol.
