1. Help from an adult
2. Your old ant farm
3. Ant gel brand powder mix
4. Pyrex (or microwave safe) glass that will hold at least 2 cups
5. Spoon

Step 1:
Clean out your old ant farm and allow it to dry

Step 2:
Empty the ant gel brand powder into the microwave safe container.  Add 1.5 cups of tap water into the microwave safe container. Empty the entire contents of the test tube into the water while stirring gently. Continue stirring for 15 seconds.

Step 3:
Microwave the mixture for 1 minute.  When it is done, take it out and stir for 15 seconds.

Step 4:
Microwave the mixture for another 2 minutes. Watch through the microwave window and stop the microwave after it has been boiling for about 30 seconds. Take it out and let it stand for one minute. Once the minute has passed, stir for another 15 seconds. Be careful; the mixture is hot!

Step 5:
At this point, the mixture should be clear and all the powder should be dissolved. If it is not, microwave in 30 second increments and stir until it is clear.

Step 6:
Pour the mixture into your old ant farm and allow it to cool for 4 hours.

Step 7:
Your ant farm is now ready to use!  Follow the instructions from your original ant farm kit to add ants to their new habitat. Be sure to make some starter holes before adding your ants so that they know that they can dig.
