I have three of these with two test tubes each. I'm willing to sell all three for 20 dollars. I have no need for them anymore and have very little space here. They all have plugs that can be screwed into the containers instead of a test tube in case you just want to use it as an out world.

The test tubes fit inside the silicone tubing, and then they screw into the case.

Nice idea for a small colony like Temnothorax, but not worth shipping over the big lake. Sprry

I'd like some of those silicon tube connectors!!  Where did you get those?

Do you mean with the threads? Were you planning to drill holes into something plastic and thread it so one of these could screw into it? If  I remember right, the threads made it a real pain in the butt to make.

I don't know if they have threads or not...  Whatever you are using to connect those test tubes to a connection port on a formicarium, like the Talus or Nucleus.

This is threaded and screws into a hole. I'm not really sure what a connection port is like on either of those you mentioned.

I think the port is just a 3/8" hole with a cork in it, but I could be mistaken about the size.

I'm not exactly sure how you would use something like this on that port/hole, especially with the container being round and all. Were you wanting to just plug the test tube directly onto it like I had them hooked to these containers I was selling?
