MrNixy: COnnecting XL farm to basin. (30. Jul 2008 13:37)

Hey,

I am going to put my new L.niger colony in one of these (http://www.antstore.net/shop/product_info.php/info/p1345%7B8%7D26_glass-XL---ant-display-30x6x20-cm.html/XTCsid/b2d3cd8fbf37709fea14ed2eeeb71c89) but I also have a basin with a 10mm drilling.... How would you suggest connecting the farm to the basin as the tube that fits the basin is 27mm on each end o.O

Regards,
Nixy

Maybe you can use a 10 mm tube and use cotton wool to fill the gap between the tube and the 27 mm drilling,
or maybe you can ask antstore if they could make the basin with 10 mm drillings instead of 27 mm.

You already have a farm with 10mm drilling ? And now you would like to connect a new farm to it that has 27mm drilling ? Right ?

Well, than you should need something like this
http://www.antstore.net/shop/product_info.php/info/p664_tube-fitting-10-mm.html
but i'm not sure if they have one that can connect a tube from 10mm to a 27mm tube. Maybe you can send a mail to the shop to ask that.

You could do it also with cotton wool like Antlord said, but be ware with that, most species dig trough cotton wool after a while.
