Description:  This drinking trough is being mounted exteriorly to the 13mm bore of the ant arena center by the included formicarium adapter ring. In its opening there is glued a fine grid to avoid any ant scuttling in it and then drowning. Additionally behind the grid there is placed a fine-pored sponge avoiding water pouring through the grid. Alternatively this drinking trough can also be used inside any other types of ant arenas.

Note: Please consider in use the fine-pored sponge must be continously kept in front of the, otherwise waster could be pouring through the grid. Additionally in use the cover must be kept inside since it keeps the water inside due to the negative pressure. Please consider depending on the viscosity of the liquid being used (water, sugar water, honeywater, ...) the issue can be changed by these measures. If issue is to little check whether the sponge contacts the grid. If it's still to little, the sponge could be removed. If it was to much water then, the lower section can be filled with ca. 3cm quartz sand.

Note: New version from 01.04.2016 (we have change the fixed metal grid in a transparent, removable grid and a long spong).
