Welcome to the Brain Trust (or is it the Think Tank? You decide in the comments!). In this episode, Scott Anderson from Mile High Reefers breaks down the philosophy of the "stupid simple" reef.
We’re stripping away the complexity and the high costs to build a 40-gallon breeder specifically designed for one thing: Brain Corals. By focusing on what we put in and what we take out, we’re creating a high-impact, low-maintenance system that proves you don't need a massive budget to have a stunning reef tank.
In This Video:
The Build: A $40 Petco "dollar per gallon" tank and a DIY stand made from garage scraps.
The Philosophy: Why skipping fish is the ultimate "cheat code" for low maintenance and zero algae drama.
The Gear: Using purple Marco base rock for the perfect flat mounting surface, Hygger cross-flow pumps for that essential oxygenation, and why used gear is your best friend.
Filtration & Maintenance: How biological filtration does the heavy lifting so you can skip the expensive skimmers and rollers.
