Can you pair a Perc and Skunk?

It would be nice to see your tank with macro. There are so few of them out there.

I'll try to snap a few pictures when it's looking better. Everybody's healthy, but my tank looks crappy right now because my skimmer is out of commission. I'm battling some nuisance algae.
I love planted marine tanks. I agree that there are far too few of them. I've seen a few online that would rival one of Takashi Amano's FW creations.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions and information.
natep: Yes, I had A. Percula and A. Sandkrinos separately as well as a maroon. Perc and maroon were very young when I got them. I had them together for a couple of months, then separated.
surgeon and daveocean: Thanks for your input. I just wanted to avoid having 3 separate pairs of clowns that I need to find separate tanks for......so if I can just have them get along, then that's one less tank for me to keep!
Since the start of the thread, I tried putting the maroon and perc back together in a 37 gallon tank with 3 bubble tips. So far no shredded fins so we shall see. If the perc is not accepted, I will try with the skunk.
Thanks daveocean for your compliment regarding my stand, actually the trim was not done the way I wanted it, but the rest looks nice. I'm nervous about keeping the wood nice, but I do love the wood! I want to put another protective coat, any suggestions?
MarinaP: Your link is one of my bookmarks as well as the one velvetelvis suggested. I was going to order from them when the weather gets better. I also saw some eel grass on ebay, but I have to look up the seller's name.
I would love to do turtle grass or eel grass, but not sure if it will survive. I did have it before in a mixed reef and it did well.
Velvetelvis: Thank you so much for your nice words. I plan to add some vertical pieces (columns) after the giganteas settle down. I figured out with the original cube that your aquascape and plans are out the window after they get in there and settle where they want. You end up moving rocks around afterwards not to make it look nice, but to accommodate their space. I have a pair of onyx right now surfing the 4 (5?) giganteas. I'm hoping they all survive the upgrade.
I would love to see your tank too!

For the wood protection/finish I prefer Minwax fast drying polyuerethane clear satin.
It has great protection and pretty easy to apply.
Some people like Spar as well, but I think that is kinda overkill, and I just prefer the flow of the min poly, easy to roll on w/ a clean lint free roller and brush out w/ little to no brush marks.

Thanks Davocean for your advice. I haven't tried to do anything with another coat yet, but I plan to.
Marina: Did you get any macros? My original red macro did not survive, so I went a different route and ordered the sea grasses and some codium. The macro on the rock suffered a little bit of die back, but is growing back in.
Here is what the tank looks like now.

The seagrass and codium have been in for about a month and a half now.

love the seagrass sugartooth. What kind of seagrass is it?

Wicked and Reefvette, that is shoal grass. I chose it because it has shallow runners vs. manatee and turtle grass. I figure if it gets too thick, I can easily pull it, and the nems foot would probably be able to push it around if they start running into each other.
So far, it's grown about 20% (longer) since I first put it in.
