So I am going to T joint off the plastic tubing down to nest chambers sat adjacent to the tank. (see previous badly drawn diagram on this thread)
I want to use glass nest chambers from Antstore. I was going to start with just one.
Questions:
1. For a nest chamber would the lid be best being entirely sealed (with a glass lid say) or would it be best if it were ventilated with a mesh?
2. I was going to put seramis clay granules at the bottom, say 0.5cm thick and cover that with 0.5cm of top soil. Is that right?
3. I was going to use a heat mat. Where do I place the heat mat to best effect?
4. Where do I put the thermostat monitor? If it has to go in the chamber then there is potential escape points? Is there a tidy way of doing this?
5. Do I then adjust humidity by adding water to the seramis? Although if the unit were sealed it should retain humidity.
Thanks for all your help as usual
