I agree and I wouldn't want to have someone take care of my tank but he is different. He just likes to have a glass of wine and sit and watch it. He is quite knowledgeable about the inhabitants and whatnot but to him its not a hobby.
People on these kinds of forums of course think that's crazy but I kind of look at it like people with cars...some people mess with their cars as a hobby and some people just drive them and take them to the shop to get fixed. No different.
He also travels all over South East Asia for work almost weekly it seems. The way they have it set up is that the company comes once a day to do everything except weekends. They are always on call though for anything that might be needed. They set up the whole tank and stocked it too with my dads help. So he chose what he wants but they source it all for him. If he wants to add fish, he has to go through them to make sure its all compatible and they add the fish after QTing it in their facilities. If any equipment fails, they replace it as part of the job. So its basically a monthly fee he pays them and they do it all, pay for new equipment, carbon, salt, ect. ect. They also take care of his massive Koi pond (I am trying to get him to turn it into a shark pond). I think its about 4000G or something. It came with his house and he doesn't want to sell the fish apparently.
He feeds the fish though
