Description
Some colonies need a moment to read a new nest. The Nexus 10×10 cm isn’t one of those puzzles: a large central room ringed by smaller chambers gives an obvious heart, and the colony settles almost on arrival. Lockable nut-and-screw ports, a sponge chamber and 9 mm rooms suit up to ~350 Lasius, Tetramorium, Messor or smaller Camponotus, and it links into a growing modular setup.
Give the colony a heart and rooms around it.

Modular Nest Nexus 10×10 cm — acrylic ant nest with a hub-and-spoke layout
This 10×10 cm acrylic ant nest is the easiest layout in the range to read: one larger central room connects to several smaller satellite chambers, and a colony moving in takes to that structure almost immediately. It belongs to the ANTonTOP modular range, a system of acrylic modules you link into a setup that grows with the colony, made in Poland and shipped with tracked delivery across the EU, UK and worldwide.

Why the hub-and-spoke layout works
The central hub becomes the colony’s core, usually where the queen and the bulk of the brood end up, while the satellite rooms take stores and quieter brood piles. That mirrors how plenty of wild colonies organise themselves: a protected centre with calmer rooms around it. It also reads beautifully through the acrylic, so you can see at a glance where the heart of activity sits.
Who it’s for
The Nexus fits a small to medium colony of up to about 350 workers, with 9 mm rooms that suit most popular pet species, among them Lasius, Tetramorium, Messor harvester ants and small to medium Camponotus. A friendly first acrylic nest for a colony leaving its test tube, and a tidy extra module inside a larger system.
Humidity and care
A single sponge chamber keeps the nest evenly moist. Refill it through the 3 mm syringe port once or twice a week and the water spreads passively through the sponge without reaching the living chambers, holding a steady level the colony can settle into. Most popular species do best at a comfortable, even humidity. The smooth surface wipes clean and stays clear for viewing.
Setup and escape protection
Cap any unused entrances, run a tube to your access point, charge the sponge, and introduce the colony. The sealed acrylic body and locked ports keep workers where they belong while the colony settles in.
Expansion and pairings
The four lockable nut-and-screw entrances take standard tubing to arenas and other modules, so one nest expands into a custom formicarium as the colony grows, with no stressful full moves and no rehousing the queen by hand. Add an outworld for foraging, standard connection tubing, and a spare water-charged test tube for founding colonies; when the Nexus fills, link a second 10×10 module or a 20×10 nest and let the ants migrate across at their own pace.
FAQ
Will a young colony settle into it quickly?
Yes. The clear hub-and-spoke structure, a central room with satellite chambers around it, is one of the fastest layouts for a colony to adopt.
Where does the queen usually end up?
Most colonies make the central hub their core, keeping the queen and the bulk of the brood there, with stores and quieter brood in the satellite rooms.
How many ants does it hold, and which species suit it?
Up to roughly 350 workers; the 9 mm rooms fit most popular species, Lasius and Tetramorium through to small and medium Camponotus. When the colony outgrows it, connect another module or a larger nest and let the ants move across.
How do I add water?
Through the 3 mm syringe port into the sponge chamber, once or twice a week.
Do you ship outside Poland?
Yes — tracked delivery across the EU, UK and worldwide, dispatched within 24 hours from Poland with heat or cool packs as the season needs.
