Hey Carlo
Tank mates of mine include 2 small hippo tangs,helfrichi firefish small emperor (yes in my reef no problems) A school of 8 dispar anthius and my pinnatus.
The idols tend to be mid water swimmers so I kinda have a good mix for them the anthius stay up top to emperor somewhat mid-to...
Ok first,
No pics. kids got ahold of my camera and tried to take tank shots for dad,well it got a saltwater bath..
My idols in mid september will be about 18 months in my 150 reef.

Just picked up 2 (gotta be from hawaii) they sometimes go a couple days without eating prepared food so...
I'm guessing chain link?
Simple fix with tent stakes and rope,pound in a spike tie rope to fence and loop in the knotch on the stake, pull until you can hook the fence to the tent spike.
If its bent in or out most likely the shakle on the pole either bent or twisted,quick fix with vise-grips...

I've have 2 of them in my reef tank,they do pick at coraline no big deal,they feed best for me with actinics only,this is also when my pinnatus feeds live brine with frozen mysis.
Mine came from absolute fish but mike from ny aquatic has them often also dr.foster and he gives a 30...
I don't have the phone number but you can contact fisharium in boonton nj,
he has a huge captive breeding facility outside of nj. he pulls from
he has some tangs,cardnals,wrasse,gobies.

I would watch using plastic netting,they contain petroleum byproducts that with the evaporation from the could allow this to drop into your system.
Regular fibreglass window screen will work,or you can buy stainless mesh that won't corrode.
Huge fan of quiet-one pumps.
Internal or external use,low price and I had great luck with them for the past 20+ years.
I run my 150 with 90 gallon sump with 2 4000 pumps.
HTH
I would skip the chromis and add more anthius nyaquatic has a sale on schools of 5.
I woud stick to pygmy angels over dwarfs, and maybe a scribble angel (mine does not bother anything nor does the emperor I got from tripsie)
You have to look at your tank go with what looks good to you.
