    I used to have a problem with this too... now my system is totally automated and I just go on vacation.

    If you have the money (since you do have the time) I would invest in an ATO system.

    I also do daily dosing and I have that automated too.

    If I'm gone longer than 7 days, I'll ask someone to come over and feed. I can easily let the fish go 7 days without feeding on prepared foods... I have no voracious eaters.

    My local lfs has a maintenance team or I have a close friend that also has a tank that will check in on it for me.
