Really bad quality vid, but you can just make out the basics of the video. And the new fungus growth

Yes, new growth. That certainly buys you time. Hopefully we can keep it going.

The setup is exactly the same as the last except for a few changes. It's actually colder (still 23) and uses a heatmat instead of a water heater.

It's looking good Marco. Our set up has always used heat mats to heat the surrounding water and I think this is the way forward.

Re: Formica123's Acromyrmex Octospinosus
I got the idea from your setup. I thought it would work better because it heats the whole of the water not just using a heater where it had to disperse the heat throughout the whole tank

And it will also help with maintaining a good level of humidity.

Setup is doing really well. I'm in the progress of discussing a range of acrylic cube setups for my colony and to sell. It will include 2 20cmx20cmx20cm acrylic cubes, connected with acrylic pipe and a heating unit. I'm also thinking about a 3rd larger cube as an outworld.
