FYI..I've converted a couple FW to Saltwater..if you used any type of medication in your FW tank..make sure you use 1 part vinegar 3 parts water to clean it..You do want to clean it well, prior to starting...

Thanks for the information. I have used one medicine in it I believe twice for scrapes and such, didn't do much if not make things worse.

Your welcome...Best of luck with your startup...

Anyone else have any opinions or thoughts on the tentative setup?

Maroons are very aggressive by nature, so it will most likely dictate what you can and cannot have in your tank. I am not sure about the compatibility of the wrasses.

How about an ocellaris clownfish instead. And the wrasse I really have no idea, I am just going on the given description that they are peaceful and can be kept with other wrasse.
