This tutorial was awesome!! Amazing
This is one of the best nest construction videos I've seen. Easy, efficient, and short. Well done 👏
You deserve so much more recognition, really well done !
Awesome video mate! You are definitely underrated!
Nice footage! Really like the cuts in between scene!
Thanks for this. I’m starting my own ant colony and this was really helpful!
Lovely work! Great filming too!
That's really cool, I never would have thought of converting an aquarium like that.
great work. love the clay paint idea. will be using that!
Awsome channel just found it today.find ur content to be unbelievably awsome
Looks amazing!
Going to make my first one, this video gave me a lot of good advices.
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?
Endlich auch Deutsch Channels über Ameisen Gotttt sei dank !
Loved this, thank you so much it helped me make my own
i love this so creative !!
Very nice video and setup :)!
this looks really well done. :)
Awesome vid and nice tutorial!
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.
its looking very nice!
Really good video!!
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
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
Sieht sehr gut aus!!!
Wow great desygn!!
This tutorial was awesome! I have a question for you. How do you keep the humidity of the fornicarium?
Thanks for all!
Love the way u talk
great video! its amazing!
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
Really like the look of this think it's a great idea
Dude that thing is badass
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 tutorial, thanks! I'm inspired to get some ytong!
I like it so much!😍
Wow amazing!!
wow, so nice !
Nice video, i subscribed😜
Wow! So good
It is amazing keep it up
How you hydrating those chambers? Is it necessary at all. ??
IT’S AMAZING !!!
I'm late finding this but great video!
Excellent
Awsome job! Hope u dont mind I'm going to still couple of ur ideas in construction and design. Lol
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?
Great idea and realy well done. The surface was a bit plain though so mabie add some rocks or plants?
Estupendo.
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
fascinating!
do not you have a separate water supply? only the snow was enough for a week?
How much did that tank cost and where did u get it. Great video man the best i have seen on diy formicarium
Hi there what is the name of that bore u use to make the chambers?
Please reply fast-What drill piece did you use for the ytong?
Have the chambers filled with the out world dirt?
@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!!
I really like the idea about painting it with clays I will be pinching that with the new setup I’m building now.
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.
Amazing
What kind of cinder block is this? I don't know if we have soft enough stuff to drill.
Awesome
Nice Vid! i might make a smaller version of that
How do you watering the nest part?
What tank did you use? I’m trying to get a good tank to keep my ants in.
nice!
Amazing ants that's a amazing formicarium.
how do you moisten the nest?
Love it
This video is really creative and I wanted to re-create this on a smaller scale. I’m just wondering where you can find the large ytong blocks (so I can make multiple other nests) or an alternative to it? Thanks xx
I bought mine in a local hardware store (Europe, germany), if you live in america, it's not to easy to find ytong
How big is the aquarium size?
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‼️🇺🇸🐜
Do they drill in ytong?
Where do you find terrariums like this and ytong that size ?
Thank you brooo
you realy did it good8
Thanks for the video! ill use this method to create my formicarium :)
ps: are you german ?
How deep do you drill into the ytong?
is plaster ok for a formicarium?? thanks
How do you make tge silicon escape proof?
I like it! What kind of clay did you use?
Great idea, looks amazing, but has the ytong blocks moulded over time?
Thanks! It still looks fine but I also don't water the nest.
How do you make sure they don't escape??
I live in the us and where would I buy that type of material (did you use a us website?)
I love it
nice👌
awesome video, a big camponotus colony can live in it
How you take the temperatur up?
Hi mate how do you hydrate the nest
Does the clay and plaster paint run when water the nest?
Where did you bought the clay powder?
Hi, wie wirst du in Zukunft die befeuchtung machen?
were can you find cinder blocks ?!!
WERE DO YOU GET YPUR CINDER ??!?!?!! i cant find any do i have to make my own ?
Can you use padstone?
Where can you can get this material
Couldnt you have done a double sets of nest one on top of the other as alot of the nest space is wasted
SOOO COOl
where did you get the acuarium?
Soooooo cool
