My hubby and i do the maintenance, wouldn't trust anyone unless they're a professional. I just bought those long gloves so we don't contaminate the tank and so i don't get the ebie jebies, i hate bugs. Funny hunh. If we ever move we would consider hiring someome to move the tank just to be on the safe side.
