Ants are small creatures... but together... they can rule the world.
looks like a good design, but I would add two ports to go in and out.
Currently keeping
1.Camponotus vicinus. 5 workers
2.Camponotus modoc. 5 workers
3. Camponotus hyatti. 1 worker
4.Veromessor pergandei. founding
5 Linepithema humile. 70-100 workers 5 queens
6. Pheidole Californica. 65 workers
I want: Atta,Myrmecia,Myrmica,Myrmecocystus

There are already two ports. Any other problems you see with this design?

I would make the tunnels a little wider 1-2cm wider.

Keeping:
2x - S. molesta (colonies) 1x - C. nearcticus (founding) New!
1x - C. chromaiodes (colony) 1x - C. subbarbatus (founding) New!
2x - F. pallidefulva (colonies)
2x - C. cerasi (founding) Founding almost complete with pupae present! Can't wait for the workers!
1x - B. depilis (founding but no eggs)
2x - P. imparis (colony) 2x P. imparis (founding) Unfortunately no multi queen P. imparis colonies as all of the queens died due to fungus infection (assumed). RIP

Just a little tip (I made this mistake before). Make sure the water reservoir is next to the hydration chamber (not that the design lacks that of course). Good luck!

Yes. Direct hydration is a very antiquated and inconsistent hydration method. Making water towers is very easy and far more consistent.
I'll look into it.

You basically put it into the nest where you want it, and pour the Plaster around it. Yes, you can make a tiny hole for a syringe, which is what most folks do.How exactly do the towers work? Are they removable, or is there a hole for syringes?Yes. Direct hydration is a very antiquated and inconsistent hydration method. Making water towers is very easy and far more consistent.

I use a 1/16 in bit for my syringe holes, syringes fit perfectly.
