Thanks for the words everyone. My idol is doing very well... it has acclimated very well and is settled in extremely well. Thinking about adding a new fish in the next couple of weeks.
Aptasias are starting to grow in the tank. I may try to pick up a large copperband angel, if I can find one.

Thanks everyone. No problems at all with the idol and ray at this point. I will probably get something new in the next week or so. I was waiting because I added about 50 lbs of LR a couple weeks ago. Wanted to make sure everything is stable.
Depending on what I can find, I am interested in adding another ray (blue dot), a tang (maybe Dussimier, Vlamingi, Bartiene), or a large copperband butterfly. I am starting to get quite a bit of aptasia. It will pretty much depend on what I can find. There is a nice, very healthy vlamingi at my LFS but I'm not sure if that's what I want.

As promised, here are some pics from tonight (scraped some algae
)...
It probably would be a bit more exciting if I had something new but not quite yet.
Can you see the ray in this pic?






Thanks for looking!

I really love the moorish, hope he continues to do well.
I'm pretty optimistic at this point. I have a large tank, the idol gets along with everyone. I feed it a variety of foods and it eats pretty much all of them. I also stay on top of maintenance and water changes. I don't see how any of this would change at this point.
The potential issues I see are whether this idol gets stressed as fish are added, or if there is a random disruption of the tank (such as a power outage). But so far, it seems to be extremely strong and healthy.

I don't have any current ones, these are older. The water is clear and the fuge is now full of algae and life. The skimmer is also full of foam and skimmate. The sump is much more full than in the pic. I generally keep it about 3/4 of the way full.
