| Description | This allows ants to access sufficient moisture within a formicarium. Ideal for use during vacation periods. The 20ml water tank can be inserted into the base (Attention: Do not insert the tank all the way, but only up to the level of the sponge, to avoid interrupting the water supply). The sponge, with a larger diameter than the attached tank, enables moisture to seep into the base. The 4 fine 18mm openings in the base are positioned in all four cardinal directions, allowing for even moisture distribution. |
FAQ
How should the water tank be positioned in the base?
The water tank should be inserted into the base only up to the level of the sponge to avoid blocking the water supply.
What is the purpose of the sponge in the base?
The sponge absorbs moisture from the water tank and releases it gradually into the base, allowing ants to access moisture through the openings.
Are the openings in the base positioned to allow even moisture distribution?
Yes, the 4 fine 18mm openings are placed in all four cardinal directions to ensure even moisture distribution across the formicarium.

The drinking trough works well for my ant colony. The sponge keeps moisture consistent and the openings allow good airflow. I noticed ants are more active after setting it up. Easy to assemble and fits nicely in my formicarium.

I appreciate the fine-pored foam sponge. It maintains humidity without flooding the base. The 4 openings help distribute moisture evenly. Works perfectly with my existing setup.
