Saltwater is heavier than freshwater and your current tank will bow out when filled with salt water. If you search the past posting in this forum, there was a member who documented this scenario happening on his freshwater tank filled with saltwater.
If you have a budget problem, save up 1st, spend the time doing research and look up at other people set up in the internet. I did that for 2 years personally. This is a hobby you do not want to rush in without adequate knowledge, time and money.
Food wise, frozen mysis shrimp is the de facto food for fishes and coral, my experience with pellet food was not that good, probably due most of the fishes were collected from the wild.
Hope this helps!
