Description

The Test Tube Portal is more than just an accessory – it is a gateway to advanced ant breeding. It provides an easy connection between the colony in the test tube and the formicarium, while offering an elegant and practical solution for any lover of these fascinating creatures.

Description of the Test Tube Portal

Made from high quality 3D printed materials, the Tube Portal features a box-shaped main section, protected by clear acrylic that slides easily into the guides. With two ferrules on one side, it allows for quick and secure connection of 16mm diameter tubes, providing ants with access to water or additional nesting space. On the other side, there is an opening for the connection of a 10 mm diameter tube, allowing easy connection to an MrówSon Mini, Standard or even Maxi formicarium.

Advantages of the tube portal

  • Versatility: Fits most formicariums and tubes, making it a versatile solution for growers.
  • Ease of Use: Quick connection and disconnection of the tubes ensures easy access to the colonies and simple exchange of water or food.
  • Aesthetics: Clear acrylic and precision 3D printing give an elegant appearance that will fit into any environment.
  • Safety for Ants: Secure and stable connections minimise the risk of escapes.

Tube portal – breeding tips

It is advisable to clean the tube portal regularly to ensure hygienic conditions for your ants. When changing tubes or adding new space, make sure all connections are tight and safe for ants. The portal can also be used to move ants from one tube to another in situations where the old tube is running out of water or harmful bacteria have settled in.

Don’t let the limitations of traditional culture methods affect your colony’s growth. The Tube Portal is the key to new possibilities and easier, more advanced ant breeding. Upgrade your breeding kit today and enjoy the beauty and complexity of ant life on a new level. Visit our shop and invest in the future of your passion!

  1. M

    Są niektóre błędy w druku ale małe i jest szczelny

  2. WD

    Fajny pożądnie wykonany , z minusów widzę tylko 2 :
    1 ta dziurka na wężyk jest dosyć mała (nie ma weżyka w zestawie)
    2 szkiełko dosyć ciężko wychodzi i brakuje jakiejś rączki czy czegoś do wysuwania go

  3. MZ

    Super

  4. MI

    Super jakośc i wiedza sprzedającego naprawdę polecam sprawdza się przy nowej kolonii ułatwia karmienie mrowek w probówce nie stresuje ich tak jak wkładanie wyciąganie waty

  5. M

    Portal probówek to solidnie wykonany produkt, który spełnia moje oczekiwania. Niemniej jednak, brakuje mi w opisie informacji o wymiarach, co byłoby przydatne. Ponadto, mam pewne obawy co do braku zabezpieczenia przed przypadkowym wysunięciem szybki – dodanie takiego zabezpieczenia zwiększyłoby moje zaufanie do produktu.
