Hi tries it, nevertheless, simply sometimes with sound granulate material you under the Subtrat gives this becomes saturated with the water and stores the dampness. Then maybe I would also recommend a straw construction by you the water to the lower sound granulate material allows to run.

I think there is a discussion somewhere for this, try to look it up.

If i remember wright, the best way was to put a tube down to the bottom of the tank and fill that tube with water so the water is underneath the ants (like in nature).
