My dad did it for me the first holiday I took- screwed it up so bad fed sooooooo much food probably 15 times more than required
My buddy who has a 220 discus tank has checked up on it last couple vacations , he doesn't have a salt tank yet but knows how to do tests and water changes and proper amounts of food
Worked out good
I just premixed some water and set up so he had to plug in pump 1 to pump out water plug in pump 2 to put water back in and then plug in return pump

My last vacation I had a trusted family member who lived close by and he checked on the tank. We'd been out of town almost 2 weeks when he called and said, "How does the food get UP into the tank?" Instead of putting the food pucks (frozen food in ice cube trays) into the tank he was putting them into the 15g ATO reservoir. Unfortunately because of the design of my system little (if any) food got into the tank.

When I got home the tank looked better than ever and had zero casualties. Fortunately it was a lightly stocked, mature, and very healthy tank with tons of pods and MACRO algae so the tank sort of fed itself.
