Shamual - yes, that is exactly what they are.
And
Daubz - I already have 20cm * 15 cm * 15cm nest box that is outside the aquarium and heated by a heat mat. See previous entries on this thread for more info and pictures..

It's great that they are finally using the second nest box and are starting to build a second fungus garden!

Re: Atta - Aquarium setup
Quick update... after my last post, they took back the second fungus (probably because I left the aquarium light on?)
Anyways, I left it a couple of days and this morning they had re-established the second fungus to a really good size. Say about two golf balls.
I'm keeping it all dark for the minute but I'll get a photo soon.

Who else noticed the clump of fungus they're starting to grow on the glass? 

I keep over 20 species of ant, inc. Acromyrmex Octospinosus
