Demolition Ant!

 
Five ants have been in charge of building their anthills, but are now bored with the results, as none of them consider theirs impressive. One morning, for the fun of it, they decide to blow up their hills using dynomite.

How high is each ant's anthill, what time is it to be blown up & how much dynonite does each ant choose to use?

Clues

10g of dynomite is being used on the tallest of the hills.

12g of dynomite is to be used at either 8:30am or 9:30am

Clairvoy-ant, who did not use the least or most explosive, did not live up to his name as he didn't predict that his hill would be exactly 25cm shorter than the hill due to be blown sky high at 10:30am

5g of dynomite is to be used before Unimport-ant demolishs his hill wich will be half an hour after Complain-ant.

Refriger-ant's hill is exactly 15cm shorter than the hill to be blown up at 11:00am, but he is using less dynomite than the hill to be blown up at 10:30am

Predomin-ant's hill is due to be blown up exactly one hour after the hill that is being blown up by 8g of dynomite.
