Looks good. I wish I could find a Maroon that would get along with the one I have now. What lighting are you running? MH?
 
My female maroon is wicked! That is her tank! She used to chase my 7" tang around when they were in the big tank
No MH, just running the stock lights (2x36w pcs + actinics)

How long have you had the BTA with that lighting? My Maroon would chase my Yellow all day if the Tang would give her a reason. She is starting to get really mean about her Rose Bubble Tip, and I just got the RBT 2 days ago!!

From what I have seen, maroons get real agressive in smaller tanks and also their anemone.

She has always tolerated me. I think she knows I am the one that feeds her. No one else sticks their hands in my tanks so I do not know how she would react to someone else. I'll have to have the wife scrub some algae tomorrow. . . lol
Heres a FTS, its a 55gal so it is a little out of scale compared to yours, but I just did a Rock wall. I would look into smashing some of the rock and making some small caves for fish to swim through. I wish I would have done something like that.
