Don't toss out the live rock. You can cook it for several months and then, if & when the bug hits you again, you can reuse this rock.
I have a reefer who lives down the street look after my tanks when I go away. Left them in the care of my wife's cousin & he used up 6 months worth of goldfish pellets on my angelfish tank, to the point where my barebottom looked like it had a layer of brown river gravel.
There should be someone close enough to trade tank sitting duties with for most members here.
