Like the title says, in a few months I will be in need of a maintenance person. I'm far from being rich, and really cannot afford a maintenance person. But it will be absolutely necessary.

I have been fighting total knee replacement surgery, and looked at many different options.
My knee is in such bad state that none of the other procedure are viable for me.

My hubby knows nothing of the hobby, except that it cost money.lol Hopefully I'll be able to get him to understand how I prepare they're food. They'll be reduced to 1 meal a day. Of course I will push for 2, but he'll also be taking care of the dogs, cats, and me. I feel sorry for poor hubby already.. Lets keep in mind that the man works 8 to 12 hour shifts.

I need someone to do weekly water changes in my 155 bowfront reef (30g), and the fowlr(10g) empty the collection cups on the skimmers, possibly change out the media in the 2 reactors in the reef(carbon in 1, phosar in the other) if I'm not back up on my feet in a months time.

Sorry to hear 'bout your knee...good luck with that!
Maybe it won't be so bad...
You moved around the last frag swap so fast gathering corals with a bad knee,
Just think of how much faster you'll be able to move around after the fix!
Now we'll all be in line behind you -first come first serve), for corals at the next swap!:biglaugh:
Can your home be reached by subway?
I still haven't seen your tanks
If it can, I'm willing to help out in any way I can.

Thanks Eric!! Next frag swap will be before, so you'll all still be able to beat me at anything that is 1st come.

And yes you do owe me a visit. "A" train stops 3 or 4 blocks from my place. So when are you coming over?:biglaugh:

Maintenance

Sean is great. He has been helping me for years. He is very open mided with respect to different system philosophies and ideas. Eventhough he is obviously running a business, he has a range of pricing policies. He even setup an aquarium at my kids' school-super cheap.

Marki, I Have nothing against Ronen. But no thank you. As a plumber I asked him how much he charges for replacing an old dish washer with a new one. I don't honestly remember what the price was because what stuck in my brain is that he would also charge me for the toll across the Marine Pky Bridge. To me that is bad business. Especially when the toll is only $2.25, and he could have gone around the toll by taking the Belt. Don't know about you guys but to me it is not a good sign.Hahahaha
Obtepper, thank you. I did leave Sean a pm.
JP, thanks I appreciate that.

There have been a couple of MR members who have offered to help as well. I am also considering them as well, as long as they are willing to take payment. I do not want to take advantage of any one here!:grouphug:

You guys are the best!! I don't know were I'd be with you guys/gals.
And you wonder why I am so addicted to this place!:cheekkiss:grouphug:
