Re: Queen Elizabeth II large display Atta's
Couldn't take my eyes of those sweet pj bottoms ha ha ha. Great video Sean, love to watch this kind of hand on stuff!
What I would say is you should do it via youtube as just better, I use photobucket for pics too but switched to youtube for videos as its miles better. Surprised British ants doesn't have its own youtube page tbh

Hi mate,
I'm in love with this setup.
D'you reckon you could start selling them or saying where you buy the containers from? I really want one for my acros!

Good advise about YouTube! I have limited tech so most things are done via iPhone, I've popped some vids on there but most are plant related.
The plastic boxes in the video where something I was playing around with months ago! Expensive and amateurish so moved on from them, I'm always trying to create the perfect formicarium!

Re: Queen Elizabeth II large display Atta's
Haha, I prefer to keep my sources close to my chest! I'd never ask a company big or small who supplies them and I was shocked that a forum asked me to reveal all my suppliers a few months ago in return for posting as "BA" otherwise I had to rescind all previous posts. Needless to say that and other egregious demands forced me to remove myself before I went all diva!
I can assure you that if you where to buy the parts and the machinery required you'd be seriously out of pocket! Time it's self is a big demand! Todays bill on replacement drill bits is £17.
That's 8 units drilled before the specialist drill part starts mullering the product and being a bit OCD I need clarity in the end product! Two of us spent 3 hours each creating the vents for these units last night, we where gushing about the end product of what we created! (geeks) We've also sourced some excellent digital modern looking thermometers to match the units but these will be added to the premium package, along with lighting, medium and accessories.
We're not resting on our laurels, we're at the mercy of the postal service and soon as parts arrive they are processed, I'm back to work Thursday so any post that arrives and gets sent back to the sorting office wont be picked up until after Christmas due to my other work commitments (joys of retail)
Anyway, time for bed before I faceplant this screen!
night xx

Re: Queen Elizabeth II large display Atta's
Its OK, you can stay here on this board without revealing your sources I suppose. But you need to tell me your bank account number and sortcode and your pin number. And some photo ID would be handy also. And do you have any nice looking sisters or daughters or anyone really, male or female. Even the dog would do. Al least here you can keep where you get your stuff to yourself (you can PM me all of your suppliers names without having to post them in public, then I can sell the details to members in exchange for their bank details and sisters etc. This forum thingy is starting to fall into place for me!!!! ) Happy Days!

Lol! I have a cat but he's loyal to me! His name is maxwell, long haired white Persian. I'm sure he'd love to get in that greenhouse of yours and use your tropical plants as scratching posts and eat some of your guppies!

Any new videos of the full set up? Do you still use the tall set up?
