yes they look beautiful. You could keep some larger tropical ant species in there. But don't keep Paraponera clavata together with some frogs because the ants will kill them;)

Haha.. ants and frogs don't belong together. Seriously it could be dangerous. My frogs are poisonous animals in earth, but in captivity they don't`t have poison, because of food (fruit flies). They need spiders, ants, termites to produce poison..

I feel like you designed the, "In a perfect world" model. Great job done. I'm convinced that if there are big pre-made channels that the vent holes are helpful. Love the (fish tank style) magnet cleaning thing. Will that..screw up anything though? How much, when, and where can I find it?

You mean at can any species escape? Nest is made tile grout and its very hard. I have remove silicon and replace it with chemical metal.. escape to outworld is almost impossible.. ants must bite true, glass chemical metal, aluminium and steel. But Pheidole Pallidula tells me facts after they have settled down :)

 When, how much??? do you mean price?

I have so many questions, I want to make formicariums like this for my colonies. Is the material you use for both the outworld and tunnel space just pure grout? Is it sanded or unsanded? Have you figured out the being able to remove the outworld issue incase something becomes moldy? How long does this process take? What are the size of the aquariums you use? What is the chemical metal you use instead of silicon?
