I hate to have to do it but I just can't find a place in our (small) house for another tank. Some battles are not worth fighting :angel: you know? Anyway, this is a one of a kind (well, one of about a dozen in the US from what I can tell) Vitrea Unico 56 system for sale. Tank, stand, light, controller and overflow/plumbing parts all included. Retail on this is...wait for it....$4950. Its brand new, never seen water. A few small scuffs on the stand from transport but nothing that stands out as it not being showroom condition. This thing is a stunner!!! Not expecting to get anywhere near the retail value for it but heres the rundown of the system:

Vitrea twin LED lamp controlled by their $750 touchscreen controller. Allows for basically any lighting/timing setup you could imagine. Program moonlight cycles, spectral and intensity shifts and anything else you like. Not sure exactly what the PAR is on this but it certainly looks like enough to grow a wide variety of corals in the tank.Also includes the unique clamping mechanism and beveled glass hood.

Vitrea Tank- uses a starfire-like low iron glass and is bonded with black silicone. Edges are diamond beveled for that extravagant look. Central overflow holes already cut.

Vitrea Stand - gloss red, heavily built stand (fiberglass?) with frosted glass trim and door to lower sump area. Makes for an elegant display that is functional too.

I won this at a swap a couple months ago and have been admiring it in my basement since :) . Just a breathtaking tank and light fixture.

Here is a link (sorry in advance if linking to this isn't allowed, I'll remove it right away if requested). I'll get a pic of it up but the pic here is of my tank, mine is the one on the left. Vitrea Unico 56 is a classy aquarium set up with a lot of glass

First $1750 (less than 40% of the new cost, cheaper than an Elos midi and includes a light and controller!!!) gets it or really open to a trade/partial trade on it. Crazy or Rare Livestock, Aquaillumination setup, high end skimmer or calcium reactor, what have you? Can deliver in the Midwest for a reasonable fee or possibly further during the summer (have trips to New York, Seattle planned, could probably hold it and bring it with me if a deposit was made). No shipping at this time, its just going to be a heartbreak if this thing gets damaged. Only caveat to the deal is that you need to share some pics of this thing setup with me :bigsmile:

Man if I had not just ordered a pair of candy basslets I'd really consider this especially being in MI I assume if you'll be at the swap ;). Nice tank.

Still for sale/trade. Looking for CO2 tank/regulator, LED fixtures, larger SWC skimmer. Yeah, thought about using the awesome one on this system but it seems like a major shame to break it up....plus would have to craft some kind of hanging system for the light as my tank has a coast to coast overflow.

I'll be in Ohio in a few weeks for the swap there.

And some pics:
Note there are a few scuffs and two paint chips on it from shipping and handling. Nothing major but I took closeups to show exactly what it looks like. I didn't touch the spots up yet in case someone was thinking of refinishing/repainting it but probably would colormatch (got a great local guy) and touch up before a sale if the buyer wants.

Man what did you do to scratch the stand up like that? LOL! Is the glass scratch free? Are you coming to the MTRC swap in April? :D

It came to me that way unfortunately....it was the actual tank that they displayed at MACNA so it did get shipped and handled a couple of times. It'll be touched up before sale. I was originally going to have it repainted and put in our living room but the decorating committee nixed upstairs space for it so I didn't touch it up yet.

Fortunately the part that really matters is pristine, not a scratch on the tank itself. Most of what you see in the pics is not glaringly obvious when actually looking at the tank.

I'd come down and deliver to the swap if the tank was sold Rev ;)
