6 months no water change, no skimmer, no testing and everything looks great

seems fairly straight forward?

Maybe in your world, in mine if you can't see your fish though the algae, your tank is algae filled.

But whatever....

I know a guy who has a big tank,200 gallons that he does wc every 6 months but he has a huge fishroom with a 200 gallon refugium filled with 5 different kinds of algae plus a big algae scrubber,no filter sock no skimmer..if you plan it properly and do it correctly from start you can have a nice tank algae free and maintenance free...but i would prefer to do wc twice a month and have a nice tank that i can enjoy not just knowing that somewhere in there in a huge pile of algae.i the end that's why we have the tanks and spend big amount of money too enjoy them..just my 2 cent

I ran skimmer-less with a DSB and macro fuge for a few years and it also worked well. Certain softies loved that setup.
