No, the gobies won't like full marine, I don't think.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

My BB's have been fine for periods at up to SG 1.010, but I don't think I'd push it much more than that.
No matter how magnificent your successes or devastating your failures, the worlds' approximately 5 billion impoverished people could not possibly care less.

Re: Bumblebee Gobies and Plecos, WHEN TO REMOVE!?
Ditto. I don't think the bbgs would do well in marine, if they could do it at all. Especially the ones that can do freshwater. There are 2 species, nearly identical, but one must be brackish while the other can be freshwater or brackish. I don't think either could go over 1.008 consistently without problems. They could probably do a little higher, like 1.010 as Nick said, for a short period but not very long.
