Coments on this setup

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.

Finding the temps on each shelf is a good start. Where did you measure the temperature in the unit when you had your colony, did you ever check the actual temperature of the peat? Is there any gaps between the shelves for air to flow from one to another?
Lots of questions ha ha

As I mentioned, my aquarium is 80cm *40cm*40cm.

I currently have two glass nest chambers in mine which are 10*10*20cm each.
