Reevey Acromyrmex Aquarium setup

Just a thought but perhaps with the upheaval of the move they have moved their fungus to safety, just like when you uncover an ants nest and they quickly get their larvae under grown and into the dark. The T piece being the darkest spot. It's probably crammed with fungus so the ants are at either side in the only available space.
Something else, the tubs, if they are like the RUB tubs with the handles then these aren't air tight. If you put some water in and turn them upside down then water will pour out. They might not hold your ants or humidity either. As Jamie said though my thoughts would be to make it dark. Throw a blanket over it all maybe might make them feel more secure and move back in.

have covered the pipe where they are and have tried to drop humidity a bit as was very wet in tub

Cover the tub you want them to go to as well Steve. How are you dropping humidity?
Mind wet conditions doesn't nessessarily equal humidity buddy,

[reevey]

hi I have a plastic cover over the hole tank so have moved it to the side a bit its saying 99% humidity

[Deansie26]

Can you get some pics, you really want to keep it 100% humidity if you can. Is the soil very wet?

[reevey]

hi here are a couple of pictures there is a plastic cover that gos over the hole tank but have removed to take pictures pic 1 is on tub with clay balls and peat in have put in some leafs and its connected to the t piece where the ants have made there home temp at fungus is 24 and temp in tube is 25/26 and 100% humidity
pic 2 is how the lids are when fitted tub 2 has nothing in it apart from leafs and temp is 26 and !00% humidity

Steve as long as the peat is just moist/ damp and not soaking wet I'd go with the darkness theory at this point. They do prefer to build there fungus chambers in darkness so if that was the only place it makes sense they have went there. Give it a few days with a few dark places now available and see how they go, the conditions seem fine from what you say.

k I will put paper around 2 tubs and see what happens its all a bit worrying

[reevey]

hi here a small update pictures of the tubs covered with paper and the ants in the pipe
picture 1 tubs covered picture 2 ants just sitting in the pipe

[Deansie26]

Have they been cutting at all Steve?
Would have asked about where your temperature and humidity probes are but can see in the photos. Id think about covering at least 3/4 of the mesh vent on the fungus tub, they don't need that much at the minute and have no means of reducing it themselves. Just keep your eye on condensation build up on the lid if you do so, should be fine but just in case it caused dripping.
