The basic startup costs for this business can be relatively low.

Basic, aquarium cleaning equipment and supplies can be purchased for around $300. Additional cleaning equipment can be purchased as the aquarium sizes get larger.

The “How to Start an Aquarium Maintenance Business” course is $396.

Other expenses such as insurance, accounting, local licenses and marketing will be extra and will vary by individual situations.

I estimate an average of $1000-$1500 to get started in this business.
