DESCRIPTION

 

This model represents an acryl nest combined with large and spacious outworld.

The nest is made of acrylic and it has gypsum staircase, the nest is framed with acrylic from all sides to prevent excessive moisture evaporation.

Humidity level is maintained by two sponges, which are connected with nest sections by stainless steel mesh.

For autonomic humidify there are 2 test-tubes with outside diameter 14 mm and length 120 mm.
The 26 ml test-tubes volume allows to achieve an autonomic maintenance of humidity level within 6-7 days.

Overall volume of sections is 250 cm3.
Nest dimensions: 200 x 120 x 22 mm.

This acrylic nest is suitable for almost all species except Atta/Acromyrmex (Leaf ants)
and Oecophylla (Weaver ants).

Maximum number of colony with the average size of individuals and filling 70% of the nest:
- 3 mm: ~ 15000 pcs;
- 8 mm: ~ 1500 pcs;
- 15 mm: ~ 300 pcs.

Partitions for gradual settlement have been an integral part of all the contemporary formicariums.
And certainly in this model we couldn’t exclude this important detail. Nest is quite large and
we equipped it with 6 partitions which devide a nest into 7 sections.

Red film is well known as good protection from such an annoying factor as sunshine and many antkeepers use it anyway. But construction of the front nest wall contains protruding elements such as screw caps and handles of partitions and therefore we decided it’s a good idea to lighten this part of antkeepers – we also add red film with technological cutouts into a kit. The film is fixed in special slots in 4 places.

The drinking bowl is horizontally placed and made of a test-tube
with outside diameter 16 mm and length of 150 mm.

Temperature and humidity level are important indicators for ants keeping and therefore we equipped
the formicarium with inbuilt thermometer-hygrometer.

These models are equipped with a large outworld measuring 260 x 200 x 120 mm.

The cover of the outworld has dimensions 180 x 120 mm and to ensure good ventilation is made
with stainless mesh insets.

If there is a need to expand the living space the side wall of outworld has a hole with diameter 12 mm
which at the moment is closed by a cap.

The walls of the formicarium are made of acrylic 3 mm thickness, this provides rigidity and reliability of the structure. Completely new knots of wall bracing between walls provide excellent durability and prevent
any gaps between parts.

Overall dimensions of formicarium: 290 х 200 х 120 mm.

These model supplied assembled.
