I don't know if I should congratulate you on the 1/2 year mark of taking a 2 month vacation...... The water clarity looks great and I am envious of your pristine sandbed (no cyano or diatoms). Can't wait to see your next steps.
You mentioned the lighting wasn't great....any plans to update the lighting?

I have been looking at the red scallop clams (I'm blanking on the name....flame scallops maybe)...have you considered those? I never see them in other people's tank which makes me wonder if they are safe. Gorgeous, regardless though!

Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Flame scallops are very hard to feed and hardly survive for any length of time in home aquaria.
I am certain that this is the American English slang not the British English slang.....means something all together different
Hey thanks, it's funny taking time away and coming back to the tank. I used to have my hands in it every day, I come back the tank is just overgrown, and trates high but otherwise in remarkable healthy condition.
Lights right now are minimal. I have a marine glo and life glo I think, just the small ones that fit the hood. It's a fish only, so lighting isn't real important. My new tank will get good lights etc.
Of course now that I skip days feeding, done some water changes, cleaned the glass it doesn't look like this anymore
Bottom pic is of my "rio" nano skimmer, that thing works overtime, but I really like it. The tank wasn't dumped once while I was gone, usually I dump it once ever two or three days.

finkids make me happy :-)
wow! it looks so much better now! i love the way your rock is laid out and the cactus shaped one in the middle of the tank is neat!
