Hello! This is probably my first time officially on a reef forum, but I'm excited to learn a lot from the threads and people who created them here. I'm an animator/motion graphics artist residing in the Boston area, I've been keeping a small 10g freshwater aquarium over the last several years, and I also have a panther chameleon. For the last 5+ years I've wanted to get into the reef hobby, but I haven't pulled the trigger for a number of reasons.
Eventually, I'm hoping to replace my freshwater tank with a beginner reef tank, but I'm planning to take at least another year to learn more and save some money and work out some logistics. I'm an apartment dweller, and though our place is pretty spacious (1000 sq/ft one bedroom) for us, I'm looking to keep a tank at a reasonable size/relatively easy to maintain, probably no more than 30 gallons max. So for now I don't have a ton of questions yet, but I'm sure I'll find my way around.
Any reefers live in apartments with medium/smaller tanks? If so, how do you handle storing supplies like buckets/containers to mix salt water and what challenges have you overcome with the constriction of space?
