Hi, have had mixed advice from friends and retailers regarding vivs ,
i have been told ND make the best ones , and Vivexotic are just as good , so before i splash out , is there a majority preferance out there.
Thanks |

| a viv is a viv. all made from wood an screws. aslong as its sealed correctly an assembled well should last fine. not sure about the ND ones never seen them. but ideally get a solid backed one instead of a thin panel. |

| Both vivexotic and ND are solid wood vivs, ND will make to size if a standard set up isn`t quite right. |

We have a thin backed viv, and has had to be fixed several times, so if possible get better! |

ND Aquatics are nice, my local use and stock them exclusively, they also build and seal them for you!
Viv Exotics are cool too, just make sure you put the taller glass runner at the top, took my ages to figure out why my glass kept falling in lol! |

ah ok. pretty sure thats what my 4x2x2 and stand are.
well made biscuit jointed instead of screws or fixings. reasonable price. only issue is as they are supplied to shops assembled may only be collect from shop. where as vivexotic is flatpack an can be delivered |

| I have a stack of 4 4ft viv exotic vivs, never knew there were other makers with a big name before! Though looking at the style, think my local used to sell them, were pricey, I guess since they are only avaible whole sale and shops whack the price up. The only different really is that ND ones come sealed, viv exotics are flat packed and will need you to assemble them and seal them, probably cheaper though! |
  
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

Not sure, I have a feeling my stack came straight from viv exotic, one of the viv colours were wrong and when on the phone to them it's kinda that it seemed like but I'm not 100% sure. |
