Potentially ambitious but this is the design of my next AAC/YTONG formicarium. Doesn’t leave much room for error so going to be interesting!

I am indeed interested. I hope to make a formicarium out of firebrick(closest thing to ytong here) sometime, and am interested in design ideas.

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8
