Moving: Need to sell all livestock and equipment

[uvaduthie]

I'm moving out of the country this weekend and need to sell all of my livestock. I've been keeping a healthy (no pests, only a bit of bubble algae) 34g reef system for the last year. Lately, i have been traveling too much and havent had time to properly take of the system, so i have too much algae (my wife loves overfeeding the fish). I need to get rid of all of the livestock to good homes by Saturday, so would consider any reasonable offer (and would give some away for free). I am not planning on selling the hardware, but would consider selling the whole system for a good price (1000$ for hardware or 1200$ for everything). Here's what i have (and apologize for the bad pictures):

 

***I've added prices. All are negotiable, within reason. I need all the livestock to go by Saturday***
