What is Qbik Empire?

The Qbik Empire system allows you to obtain the best conditions from the founding of the colony with only the queen, until when your anthill is huge and has thousands of ants.

A new progressive scaling of the Qbik expands, conquering unimaginable spaces. Thanks to its unique system of floors and interfloors we will be able to transition from horizontal configurations to wherever your imagination and ingenuity take you. It avoids moving and allows you to expand according to the needs of the colony without stress and with an easy coupling system between them.

It is the definitive system to keep ants in captivity in a comfortable, ergonomic and visual way, adapted to your space.

MUCH MORE THAN VERTICALITY

QBIK is a modular ant nest system that allows you to select the size from the beginning and expand as much as you want.

There are no limits to the QBIK EMPIRE line since its modularity capacity makes it possible to expand your Qbik Alpha or Qbik Wild ant nests also vertically. Allow your colony to be unstoppable by growing its anthill adapting it to your space.

It is the definitive system to keep ants in captivity in a comfortable, ergonomic and visual way. Design and build your own anthill, changing its layout or adding space easily and safely.

Of course we send all our QBIK fully assembled so that when they arrive you can enjoy them without complications.

Unique modular system

QBIK EMPIRE is a modular system designed so that you can expand your nest in the easiest way, choosing the layout of the modules completely and allowing you to change the distribution whenever you wish.

The diversity of sizes and foraging rooms allows the system to be scaled in a very intuitive way, facilitating the growth of your colony.

The connections work through a system of wheels that act as revolving doors, allowing you to open and close as you wish, whether to connect modules together, block entrances to change the layout or open more exits to the foraging room.

The wheel provides full visibility when opening and closing gates, avoiding harm to our ants.

The robust and resistant design of the QBIK allows you safe mobility. Furthermore, its square shape allows you to make better use of the spaces where you place your QBIK.

It has a completely flat base and no legs to avoid instability of the whole or causing vibrations that disturb our ants.

PIECES

QBIK EMPIRE VERTICAL GALLERIES

With the vertical galleries of the Qbik Empire you can provide your anthill with interplants, giving more space to your ants and more resistance to your anthill. All this without large extensions that take up more space than you have available.

Requires lower and upper connector.

QBIK EMPIRE SPIRAL

Interfloor structure that connects 2 floors allowing:

  • A fluid passage of the ants in both directions.
  • Good visibility to the rear elements of the interfloors.
  • They function as structural elements of support between floors.

Requires lower and upper connector. Remember to orient the concave cavity of the spiral upwards for correct passage of your ants.

QBIK EMPIRE VERTICAL DRINKER

An external drinker whose coupling serves so that the Qbik Empire vertical modules have added humidity in case your ants need it.

QBIK EMPIRE BLACK

Horizontal to vertical converter with base providing strong support to build upwards (start of first floor). It provides very strong structural integrity, which is why its use is recommended in the corners of the base floor (floor 0).

Make sure you orient the connection holes correctly.

You can connect it to both galleries and spirals.

Screw in the 4 screws (2 for each connection).

QBIK EMPIRE WHITE

Recommended piece to start a new interfloor combined with Empire Black on floor 0, or only this piece in the rest of the upper interfloors.

Remember to place it correctly, with the white side facing down and with the logo right when you use it to start an interplant. If, on the other hand, you use it as a lateral connector, the logo must be lying down.

Make sure you orient the connection holes correctly, as well as screw in the 4 screws.

You can connect it to both galleries and spirals.

QBIK EMPIRE RED

Vertical to horizontal converter. It is used to complete an interfloor and start a new horizontal level. It can be connected to both galleries and spirals.

Make sure to orient the connection holes correctly and screw in the 4 screws (2 for each connection).

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

At Anthouse we understand the importance of providing your colony with the necessary space so that your anthill becomes a true miniature empire.

We know that sometimes the space available in our homes can be limited, which makes it difficult for our ant colonies to grow horizontally. That is why we have devised the revolutionary Qbik Empire system, an innovative solution that allows you to expand your anthill upwards, as if it were a skyscraper.

With Qbik Empire, verticality becomes your ally. This exclusive interplant system allows you to make the most of the available space, allowing your colony to grow in height without taking up considerable space in your home. This way, you can turn even the smallest corner into an amazing habitat for your ants.

The intelligent design of Qbik Empire guarantees the stability and safety of your ant nest at all times. Each component has been carefully designed and tested to give you a worry-free viewing experience as your ants thrive and develop in their new vertical home.

With Qbik Empire, expanding your anthill is easy and safe. Thanks to its great stability, you can add multiple vertical levels without worrying about structural problems. Simply follow the proper order of assembly: ground floor, interfloor and then the upper levels. This not only ensures a solid construction, but also makes it easy to access the screws at every stage of the process.

Once your anthill is complete, you can expand it according to the needs of your ants. Whether adding vertical galleries to the sides to maximize space or incorporating more levels both vertically and horizontally, Qbik Empire offers you the flexibility to adapt to any situation.

Don't forget to take care of the well-being of your ants. Strategically place vertical humidity points in the vertical galleries to ensure a healthy and cozy environment for your tiny companions.

In short, with Qbik Empire, building and expanding your anthill becomes an exciting experience. Join the adventure and create an empire that your ants will be happy to call home!

How does EMPIRE work?

Welcome to the world of Qbik Empire, where you become the architect and your anthill is transformed into a fascinating empire.

With Qbik Empire, creativity is your only limitation. Before assembling your anthill, you can design and redesign it to your liking, making sure that every detail is in place and that all the necessary parts are at your disposal. With a wide range of modules available, the possibilities are endless, allowing you to create a unique ant nest that reflects your style and personality.

Explore endless combinations as you build your ant empire, but always remember to respect the laws of physics to ensure the stability and functionality of your structure.

Vertical galleries not only provide additional space, but also strengthen the structure. Furthermore, placing them at the back of your structure guarantees excellent visibility and optimal light entry for your tenants.

The spirals add a touch of magic to your design, allowing your ants to move between levels fluidly. Ergonomically designed to facilitate the passage of your ants, these spirals are ideal to place in the front areas of your anthill, offering a spectacular view of the vertical galleries located in the back.

TOTAL ANTI-LEAK

Millimeterly designed to prevent any type of escape, even from the smallest ants.

Make sure to always lock the wheels with the T pieces, as sometimes a small movement when moving it can partially move them.

It has a special ring-shaped piece, designed to be placed between the modules when connecting them and prevent leaks 100%.

If you want to completely secure the modules, do not hesitate to use the screws. With them you will fix the modules, being able to move your anthill without fear of them separating.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

Don't forget to add vertical humidity points if your anthill needs it.

The vertical galleries have two "T" pieces designed to hold the red covers up to a 90º position.

Check out our available kits, designed for each specific need in assembling your empire.

When transporting it, do not forget to hold it on the ground floor so as not to stress the interfloors.

Remember to always respect physics and make montages that are stable.

GREAT VISIBILITY

For us it is a priority that the ants can be seen perfectly, avoiding blind spots where the ants can hide.

The galleries of the QBIK system are completely white so you can see your colony even with the red cover.

The spirals and vertical galleries allow you complete visibility of your ants. Place them strategically so you don't miss anything.

These red caps are included with the purchase of your QBIK complete module. We also make sure that you have the anthill assembled and ready to use when it arrives.

FAQ's

The versatility of the Qbik Empire makes it the ideal home for virtually all ant species.

Although it is rare to have such large colonies in captivity, Qbik Empire ensures that you have enough space for the future growth of your colony.

Can I customize the layout of my Qbik Empire?

Of course! You have complete freedom to design the layout of your Qbik Empire according to your preferences. However, it is important to take into account the laws of physics to ensure the stability of the structure. Make sure to properly balance the weight and consider including vertical modules in the base to strengthen the structure and avoid possible imbalances.

Where should I place the foraging room, upstairs or downstairs?

The location of the foraging room is a matter of personal preference. Both the option of having it on the ground floor or the upper floor are valid and provide a suitable environment for your ants. You can choose the configuration that best suits your needs and tastes, since both options are equally valid for all species of ants.

Can I combine Qbik Wild modules with Qbik Empire?
