So maybe if a layed the ytong on its side a could water one half and leave the other dry to gain an understanding of their preferences?

There is a good reason why my nest has 3 water chambers across the top instead of 1

Okay okay, so what do you tend to do when watering it? Your chambers are vertical right? Do the ants manage ok at that angle?

I only water the left most chamber at the minute, and rather annoying they spend all their time in the middle of the 3 chambers they have access to so I don't know what to make of their preferences yet haha!
I have a towel covering the nest atm and don't like to look, but last time I did a day or two ago she was on the side wall near the roof! When there was no towel covering she was 80% of the time on the floor of the chamber.

If ants like a dry climate should their nest still be damp? I don't think so. You should keep the humidity like it is in the wild. In a desert what is the humidity? If you give the ants a testube of water, they can drink with out you messing up the humidity of the ant nest. Unless it's a soil or sand nest where you don't have much choice but to water it.
