Christmas Break

Alright I have a question. I am going home from college on Christmas break in a week. I live about 2 hours away so I will be able to come back periodically. How often will be sufficient for coming back to feed and do maintainance on the tanks when I will be gone for about three weeks? I have a lunare wrasse, Valentini puffer, a damsel, and a false perc. I got an automatic feeder and some pellets but I doubt that it will suffice for that long. Any suggestions?

Typically I feed my fish ever other day with a 3 day fast in between. I don't think your puffer will like that much though. How often do you feed your fish now? that would be the deciding factor.
If you are feeding pellets it will also make life easier. The autofeeder with pellets will work but I would test it first. I personnaly don't care much for autofeeders but I had a friend check my tank ever 3 days, and I had little plastic baggies made with food for each tank.
