The TubeCube: A Revolutionary Modular Test Tube System for Ant Keepers

Welcome to Esthetic Ants! In this post we introduce the TubeCube, our modular test tube system. It makes ant keeping easier and more flexible: whether you are an experienced keeper or just starting out, you can adapt your setup to what your colony needs.

What is the TubeCube?

The TubeCube is a modular system that lets you connect and arrange test tubes in many different ways. Each set comes with three pre-assembled cubes, three test tubes and some spare parts, so you have everything you need to get started. It is available in four colours: white, red, black and green.

How does it work?

The TubeCube is simple but very adaptable. Each module has four openings where you can attach different ports:

• Closed ports for sealing off openings you do not use.

• Test tube ports for connecting the tubes your ants will nest in.

• Tubing ports for expanding your setup with extra connections.

• Double ports for even more flexible setups.

You can follow our suggested setup with three test tubes, or change it to fit the size of your colony. Is your colony still small? Detach one of the tubes and close the port for a more compact nest. You can even remove a module completely, or use one as a 4-way connector.

Designed for nesting, not for feeding

The TubeCube is made as a nesting space. You can connect it to an outworld, but the TubeCube itself is not meant for feeding your ants. Your colony lives in the connected test tubes. New to test tubes? Read how to make the perfect test tube setup for your queen ant.

Easy to clean

When a module needs cleaning, you can easily take the glass out of the module with tweezers. The parts fit tightly, which helps keep your ants safely inside their nest while you clean.
