i alredy have that starter set so... maybe my next colony will have a ytong. anserw correctly please
I was answering to Alby (" Alby : Use Ytong(…)) :wink:

I wanted to answer to You as well, but I don’t have that starter set and I don’t know in which part You are applying water.

The best way is to make some parts of the sand a bit wet(in example-corner), while other parts should be dry. Workers will chose the best place.

(I know I should improve my English, sorry)

Cotton wool has a lot of disadvantages. Was it recommended by Antstore?
I would replace cotton wool with gravel.

no i think it was in mizt's care sheet but its working fine for now but the question is how much water i need to add once a week?

Try to keep you pictures a little smaller (in size) mzfckr.

I depends, you should try it out first before you put the ants in it. Put water in it and after a few days look how much sand is dried up (depends on the humidity and heating of course) Keep the sand moist not wet. Good luck. ;)

but what about '''the dump line'' ?that is that line where you can see the dry and damp sand meet.and i need this damp line or i need all the sand damp?

You have to keep the whole sand damp. Because when its getting dry the sand get very hard and the ants could not ditch.
