Ants prefer the test tube with water instead of formicarium

Two days ago I moved my Messor barbarus colony from the old formicarium (which was construction-flawed) to the new acrylic formicarium.

The third day in the morning I noticed that ants moved to the test tube with water... What should I do in this situation? To tell the truth I'm really confused...

PS. this new acrylic nest was properly watered (sponge).

I think they just prefer the small space. I'd recommend giving them some time.
