      If you mean what sand to mix in the grout, the finer the better buddy. In chamber making you can use any sand or dirt if you can sterelized it, the better.

    I did something similar thanks to your videos 👍 But for me, when I start heating the nest to maintain the temperature at least 22-25 degrees, everything is always condensed. I don't know why 😭

    • @Dcolony
      @Dcolony  Місяць тому

      You should have let the nest fully dried first buddy, before putting back the glass to use the nest. If that still happens just add more ventilation. I don't use heaters cause I'm in the tropics.

      @grustnaya_vesyolost5389 Місяць тому

      @@Dcolony I also thought about more ventilation, but I was worried about whether there would be enough moisture for the ants in this case

    • @Dcolony
      @Dcolony  Місяць тому

      Try to completely dry the nest first buddy and try filling the tower again, I suspect the concrete is still moist inside, condensation happens when there's too much moisture

      Dirt or any aquarium sand will do in chamber making buddy, but in the sand mix in grout, the finer the better.

    Can someone explain how the ants drink from these towers? Does water condense on the screen? I keep dragging my heals creating them because I guess I just don't understand how they get water to drink with this system.

    • @Dcolony

      It's not for drinking buddy, it's to make the nest humid.

      I already used a variety of grouts buddy, so far I never got a toxic one I just don't use the bio tech ones with anti bacterial. Here's the brand that I mostly use featured on this short.
