Background

The Atom C is the smaller version of this formicarium.  Discus is over twice the size in diameter and depth.  The intended use for both are to provide the ant keeper with a “birds-eye” view of the colony similar to the Inception Chamber habitats.  The ledges and sheltered areas of the formicarium are easily viewable through slight turning and with the aid of a light source.  These areas provide honey pot ants the much needed ledges to hang from and off species that are very shy a place to found their colonies with increased privacy.

Features:

-5″ Diameter Nest Block with optional connection port size (1/4″, 3/8″, or 1/2″)

-Rocks decorate the interior, typically 2 per habitat.  This gives a third surface for the ants to nest (the water tower screen and the sand-coated chambers being the first two).
