I have left mine for about a week all by itself, no auto feeder, no topoff, nothing. Everything survived.

Every tank is different. You are the one who knows your tank the best. How often do you feed them? How often do you top it off? How often do you need to adjust pH, Alk, and such.

If you have time, try a dry run. See how long you can go without adding topoff water or adjusting the Alk.

I tend not to think about the "what ifs" like "what if there is a power failure". If I did, I would never do anything or go anywhere. What if the roof leaks? What if a tree falls through the window? What if the house burns down? WHat if I get hit by a bus crossing the street? If I worried about all that I would never leave the house. But that is me.
