well, if there isn't a way to purchase it, will it be easy to make It?
Thank you very much.

I've never seen this setup before. I don't know if easy is the right word but making something similar isn't impossible. It depends on how skillful you are building stuff.

I believe that was made about 5 years ago by a guy who went by ekimmik over on the Antfarm.yuku forum. He made some really nice looking formicariums.

that's right. He and I shared some design chats back then as we were both using those acrylic containers. I still have my silicone mold for pouring the inserts. Funny, I was never able to easily acquire hydro-stone back then and test with it. Maybe I will now.

Hey if you know how to make it, will you be willing to sell it??^^

Ekimmik's design was so much more polished than mine, I doubt you'd be interested in where I stopped working on it.  My spare time now is focused on new designs.  I may end up making something similar with a glass vase.  Drew is also working on a pretty sophisticated design with similar viewing capabilities.  FooGoo is also working on something cool.
