What does the NESTRIX FOUNDATION Pack include?

• 1 × NESTRIX HYDRA (nest module 6.5 × 6.5 × 3 cm)
  The premium module features a 6 ml top reservoir, a safe watering point with a metal mesh, and an intelligent humidity gradient (moist zone + dry zone). It offers direct access to water and creates a perfect microclimate for the colony foundation.
• 1 × NESTRIX ARENA MINI (foraging box 6.5 × 6.5 × 6.5 cm)
  Compact foraging area with a plaster and sand base. A dedicated space for ants to explore, forage, and naturally deposit waste.
• 1 × NESTRIX Connection piece
  Connection piece for joining HYDRA and ARENA MINI with a 10 mm fluid tunnel.
• 1 × NESTRIX Safety component
  A safety/fastening component that locks the connection, turning the assembly into a rigid structure. You can move or transport the entire setup without risk.
• 2 × NESTRIX opening piece + 2 × NESTRIX closing piece
  Parts for opening or closing the connection between the modules.
• 6 × Additional plugs
  Extra plugs to seal all unused ports on both modules right from the initial assembly. Maximum safety and zero leaks.
• Red filter

Why is it ideal for the founding stage and small colonies?

• Perfect size: a compact, manageable setup for claustral/semi-claustral queens and incipient colonies.
• Ultra-natural environment: plaster and sand base in both modules; no digging possible, in order to maintain the structure’s pristine condition.
• Advanced hydration from day one: direct drinking source and a hassle-free moisture gradient.
• Assembles in minutes and is infinitely expandable: as the colony grows, simply add more modules (TOWER, DOUBLE, SETA…) using the available ports.

With NESTRIX FOUNDATION Your new colony starts off with a professional, secure habitat that is ready to grow. All the essentials are included—no unnecessary extras.

Simply fill the vial with water, insert the rolled-up moisture strip into the vial as shown in the image (with half the strip inside the vial and half outside), and screw it onto the ant farm.
