To be honest, I would not even be able to tell you exactly what he does ...Managing Director, Global Equity Finance, Asia. If that means anything to you. I just know he works for a large bank and thats his title. I have never had much interest in what he does. Not in a bad way but its just not my thing. I am an artist and make my living in a much different way, LOL. He has worked his way up though to this job literally from the bottom and I know is proud to be where he is. Many of the people he works with came from money and have been just kind of given jobs their whole life whether they deserve them or not.

Really I just thought it was an interesting topic because I knew most people here would never want someone else messing with their tank regardless of whether they could afford it or not. I am still kind of like that and take great pride in my tank but man I hate maintenance. I really do prefer to just watch the tank and enjoy things.

Hey, go to YouTube and type in "LA Fishguys" you will find out how the aquarium maintenance business work. Very interesting !!!

i dont think id ever want someone messing with my tank even if it was free. i like doing all the little things and water changes etc. to me thats half of the fun and you can enjoy it so much more because you know all the hard work you put into it

We enjoying maintaining tanks so much that we do get paid to do it! That being said our own tanks do suffer a little because of it....

This question is really similar to many hobbies, like gardening, some people get landscapers to do their garden and some wouldn't dream of it!

If I had the money I think I would get someone in to do some maintenance on my tanks, but I enjoy aquascaping and coral pruning myself. Coral and fish selection would be my own choice, but I would not shy away from someone making knowledgeable suggestions to me!
