About Ocean To You Aquariums
Ocean To You Aquariums is a premium saltwater aquarium retail and service company based in Sugar Land, TX. We service high-end reef systems across the Greater Houston area and operate a full retail storefront specializing in marine livestock, corals, and equipment. We take pride in doing things the right way — and we’re looking for someone who does too.
The Role
You’ll be running service calls at client homes and businesses across the Houston area, maintaining saltwater and reef aquarium systems on scheduled routes. This role starts at 25–32 hours/week during training and grows to a full 40 hrs/week within 2-4 weeks as you take ownership of your route.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Performing water changes, parameter testing, and equipment maintenance on saltwater and reef systems
- Identifying and treating disease, algae issues, and water chemistry problems
- Communicating professionally with clients in their homes, including high-net-worth residences
- Representing Ocean To You Aquariums on the road in a company-wrapped service van
- Documenting all service visits in our service software (Jobber)
- Reporting issues and maintaining detailed records per our SOPs
Requirements — Non-Negotiable
- Minimum 2 years hands-on saltwater/reef aquarium experience (hobbyist or professional). You should be comfortable identifying common corals, diagnosing water chemistry issues, and discussing reef husbandry confidently
- Valid Texas driver’s license with clean driving record
- Reliable, punctual, and professional in client homes
- Ability to lift 50+ lbs and perform physical work (hauling water, moving equipment)
- Available Monday–Friday with rare weekend emergency availability (typically less than once per month, paid at regular rate)
- Background check and drug screen required
This role is NOT a fit if: you’ve never kept a reef tank, you don’t have reliable transportation to the store, or you’re looking for a desk-adjacent job. This is physical, hands-on work in client homes.
Bonus Points
- Experience with SPS/LPS reef systems, dosing, and Apex controllers
- Familiarity with disease treatment protocols (copper, prazi, etc.)
- Prior professional aquarium service experience
Compensation & Benefits
- Training pay: $15.00/hour (1–4 weeks)
- Regular pay: $22.00/hour after passing competency evaluation
- Overtime paid at 1.5x for 40+ hours
- Company vehicle provided for service calls
- Paid bi-weekly every other Friday
- Growth opportunity — this is a long-term role with room to take ownership of your route
