180 FOWLR- Convince me to do or convince me to dont

Ok so my 180g African Cichlid tank has been running for 2 years and so has my 50g reef. I find marine much more appealing and rewarding and have been struggling with myself lately whether or not i should switch the 180 into a FOWLR. Now i'm going to be brutally honest, i would not be going all out on this one. I would be using the same filtration i have now (1 fluval 404, 1 Eheim 2217, 1 Fluval FX5) plus a good skimmer and possibly add a sump a few months down the road. I would probably try and get some macro growth going in the main tank as I dont mind the look and the added benefits. I have aragonite in there right now and would make sure to clean it VERY well and then add a few more bags. I also have texas holey rock (limestone) that cost much much $$$ so i would clean that well too and use it as a base or to make some nice structures, then add some nice branching LR. I wouldn't go nuts stocking it. Do you think it would be an easy transition or a major headache?
