vinyl tubing and ant nest placement

[panofduluth]

So watching AntsCanada his set ups always look so nice. i'm going for something like his phoenix nation fire ant colony. ant tower connected to a portal with 2 water tubes and eventually connected to a bigger outworld. possibly connect more ant towers to it too when they get bigger.

how do you get the vinyl tubing to sit how you want it? it tries to go back to it's original shape which is not the shape i need it to be. second question. how does he get his objects to stay so securely in place when changing the tubing or water tubes. what do you recommend i use to secure the objects to the surface. Mikey's is so straight and stable when changing his tubes and even when he cut the vinyl tube to add in the hybrid nest. his ant tower didn't fly away like i imagine mine would.

don't have the ants in yet just getting ready when the time comes!

thanks guys!

Soak your tubing into warm water. That will make them more pliable and not want to return to their original state.
