New reef question

[gji]

So I have a 180 gallon fwlr that I broke down about 4 years ago. This tank and all of its equipment have been sitting idle in storage. Now that I have more time in my life, I was thinking about jumping back into the hobby. I think this time around I want to do a simple reef with softies, mushrooms, small fish and clean up crew. Do you think it would be easier on me to down size to truly enjoy the tank and not be overwhelmed with water changes every 2 weeks. If yes what would be the ideal size?

The smaller the tank the more attention it needs in some cases. I think if you want less maintenance maybe a 40 gallon breeder. the reason I say smaller tanks are tricky is because tiny problems are magnified. Good luck and welcome back.
