Two questions

OK to start off I have a question about the ac equipment because when I ordered a test tube/adapterpack I got fifteen adapters but what was confusing was that there were 15 in total and 5 of small hole 5 of large hole and then some wierd thingy that can connect adapters to testtubes so what are they and is air able to flow through so that you can connect test tubes with them. My second question is that I am at a tetramorium colony on the GAN Project and people said they are fast growers but I am planning to get them an ac nest mini but how long will that last them. thanks in advance
A prenolepis imparis colony with repletes and a big queen also 10 chickens and 1 annoying brother.

I think the question about the size of the nest really depends on how fast they grow. You could prepare by having additional ant nests available in case you need more space. It also depends on the exact species. Some of them may require more or less space for their colony. Also the amount of food you provide them will either increase or decrease the speed of the colony growth.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.

The AC mini will probably fit a few hundred Tetremorium workers so, you would only move them in when they are at least over 50+ workers. Then the nest would probably last 2+ years.
