This tutorial was awesome!! Amazing
Nice footage! Really like the cuts in between scene!
This is one of the best nest construction videos I've seen. Easy, efficient, and short. Well done 👏
Thank you guys! I am always glad to hear that you like the video :)
I have a quick question... how do you water thus big thing? Any how very nice video
AmazingAnts i was wondering, what kind of cinder blocks did you use? Were they made of regular concrete?
Ken DellaSandri its ytong some soet of very moist absorbent concrete i use it to for my nests the combination with the plaster at the inside makes it look very professional
Amazing Ants I subbed
Where can i get those cinder blocks?
Awesome video mate! You are definitely underrated!
You deserve so much more recognition, really well done !
Thanks for this. I’m starting my own ant colony and this was really helpful!
That's really cool, I never would have thought of converting an aquarium like that.
Going to make my first one, this video gave me a lot of good advices.
great work. love the clay paint idea. will be using that!
Lovely work! Great filming too!
Looks amazing!
Loved this, thank you so much it helped me make my own
Awsome channel just found it today.find ur content to be unbelievably awsome
Endlich auch Deutsch Channels über Ameisen Gotttt sei dank !
I like it. I heard if you incline in it makes for better viewing and more surface area so your ants are less likely to get bored and spend allot less time testing your barriers because from their very small perspective they have a lot more land to explore.
Awesome vid and nice tutorial!
Very nice video and setup :)!
i love this so creative !!
this looks really well done. :)
its looking very nice!
Really good video!!
How you hydrating those chambers? Is it necessary at all. ??
Dude that thing is badass
It was a great video, as well the formicarium. Except, how do you manage different humidity/moisture levels within the nest?
flood the hole? xD
Wow great desygn!!
great video! its amazing!
Nice tutorial, thanks! I'm inspired to get some ytong!
This tutorial was awesome! I have a question for you. How do you keep the humidity of the fornicarium?
Thanks for all!
Wow amazing!!
Sieht sehr gut aus!!!
wow, so nice !
very nice..i would have done a double stack of the cinder blocks..liked how you filled the space in back with foam and plexiglass
I like it so much!😍
Wow! So good
Really like the look of this think it's a great idea
Love the way u talk
I'm late finding this but great video!
Nice video, i subscribed😜
Amazing tutorial my dude, i need ant friends in the US 🇺🇸 . As always, i love your content dont ever stop or i may just die LMAO
It is amazing keep it up
IT’S AMAZING !!!
Please reply fast-What drill piece did you use for the ytong?
Excellent
Nice Vid! i might make a smaller version of that
Have the chambers filled with the out world dirt?
What tank did you use? I’m trying to get a good tank to keep my ants in.
What kind of cinder block is this? I don't know if we have soft enough stuff to drill.
where did you get your slabs of aac ? seems cant even get them in canada I wonder if i found a place in the usa if they would ship here
Awsome job! Hope u dont mind I'm going to still couple of ur ideas in construction and design. Lol
@Amazing Ants, at 3:41 you said you used a mix of red sand. But, that looks like dirt. Where did you get that? Hope you reply!!
how do you moisten the nest?
Hi there what is the name of that bore u use to make the chambers?
How do you watering the nest part?
Amazing
Estupendo.
nice!
fascinating!
do not you have a separate water supply? only the snow was enough for a week?
Awesome
How big is the aquarium size?
Great video, got some really interesting ideas watching this. How do you raise the humidity level in those blocks without mold, for other species like Myrmica Rubra?
nice👌
How much did that tank cost and where did u get it. Great video man the best i have seen on diy formicarium
awesome video, a big camponotus colony can live in it
I think this is awesome. But I have a question how do you set up a water gradient in something like this, how does moisture enter the actual nest?
Amazing ants that's a amazing formicarium.
I like it, but I would personally add more ground cover, then add some live plants and decor (logs etc). Make it a vivarium on top of the formicarium.
I really like the idea about painting it with clays I will be pinching that with the new setup I’m building now.
I live in the us and where would I buy that type of material (did you use a us website?)
Where did you bought the clay powder?
Where do you find terrariums like this and ytong that size ?
Couldnt you have done a double sets of nest one on top of the other as alot of the nest space is wasted
Thanks for the video! ill use this method to create my formicarium :)
ps: are you german ?
Haha almost everyone in the comments section is an ants youtube channel. Nice to see some fellow ant lovers.
Does the clay and plaster paint run when water the nest?
is plaster ok for a formicarium?? thanks
WERE DO YOU GET YPUR CINDER ??!?!?!! i cant find any do i have to make my own ?
How do you make tge silicon escape proof?
How deep do you drill into the ytong?
Great idea and realy well done. The surface was a bit plain though so mabie add some rocks or plants?
where did you get the acuarium?
Love it
How do you make sure they don't escape??
I like it! What kind of clay did you use?
Was that a firebrick you put the holes in?
Thank you brooo
Did you have any problems with the corners for this setup? Does Messor climb the corners like that video where Antscanada had his Black Knights break out of the terrarium by climbing the corners, passing by the baby powder barrier?
It's not that easy to make 100% barrier in the corners, particulary due to the PFTE gel I'm using. I had some escapees in the beginning. After resealing the corners there haven't any escapee yet.
But these are Messor ants, they absolutely not good in climbing on glass. For all other species I would recommend a lid or an frame which is on top of the formicarium.
--> All in all, this setup is no problem for messor species, no escapees yet.
SOOO COOl
you realy did it good8
do you need to put the paint?
How you take the temperatur up?
Do they drill in ytong?
I’m just starting my colony of pogonomyrmex barbatus with just a Queen, any tips⁉️ And are there a place/person with larvae⁉️ I really wanna brood boost my colony‼️🇺🇸🐜
Ich habe gehört man soll kein normales Aquarium benutzen weil die sich sonst unten durch das Gummi fressen , ist das ein Mythos oder hast du ein spezielles Aquarium benutz ?
were can you find cinder blocks ?!!
how will you water the nest?
I love it
can i buy the tank you use online ,and if so where :p ?
