Magic's first set up

Post your builds, private or commercial set ups. This is where we will document the creation of housing or the planning and construction of projects from scratch. This differs from the Journal Section because this section does not concentrate on the Ants or the other animals that are being kept, this section focuses on the progress of the build.

Andrew, how many of those small tanks for a single queen Acromyrmex colony fungus wise do you estimate? tanks are 31 x 18.5 x 24 cm LXBXH
Two tanks will accommodate a cpolony for a while, if not indefinately. But if you increase the number they will eventually fill them.

Hi guys . I changed my mind 3 times about my first set up as I wasn't happy with it. This is the last final project and I think that's the one :) still need to add the feeding thank on top, do the insulation, drill some holes and pipe it all together:)

What best temperature to set ?
Dose the temperature have to be very stable or it can change a bit as the thermostats are not perfect ?
