Im starting this journal a bit in advance (to get some opinions before i screw up)
I ordered a complete starterset (https://www.antstore.net/shop/en/starte ... -3646.html) and expect it to arrive any day now

Reason: i'm clumpsy


I will put this entire setup in an aquarium (120×40×15cm) and fill it up with 10cm water
Reason: to ensure they stay in their cubes
Heating will be done by a 60w heating lamp (https://www.bol.com/nl/p/donkerstraler- ... oductImage)
Controlled by a thermostat (https://www.vetsend.co.uk/exo-terra-the ... z7EALw_wcB) which according to its discription should keep the temperature more steady then most regular thermostats
Reason: setup will be in my living room so i dont want to hide it in a closet or foam box
In the beginning i will put a small plastic container on top of the fungus so the ants can arrange their own humidity and enlarge the container as the fungus grows, hopefully big enough so i can display them without container (thats the goal)
I will post some pictures once everything is up and running and when i pick up the colony
