byFormica started selling antkeeping gear on September 1, 2014.  Now, after 21 dog-years of research and development, I am proud to unveil a new formicarium ecosystem.  It is my hope that this new, novel system will revolutionize the way people keep ants.
 
It may be a slow start, but it will be a start, nonetheless, to something that people have been asking for, for as long as I've been a part of the online antkeeping community.
 
Behold, a top view:

I have two big Camponotus colonies, each in one of those.
 
Please send me some love by visiting the links in my signature below.  More will be revealed soon to our biggest fans.
