You can use purigen http://www.seachem.com/products/product_pages/Purigen.html in one of your filters and zeolite in another while your gone (and even put some charcoal in ther also).
An air stone will also be effective at off-gassing and oxigenating in the tank.
How about two auto-feeders one for each type of food per tank.

Since you are in Florida, this will come in handy:

I put a drip system on the tank and the above system takes care of the waste water. A drip system will cost around ten dollars if your chlorine is low enough to not need a Cl2 removal system.
Btw, I have purchased the drip system from Harbor Freight ($6) and it is entirely made of junk that does not work. The pressure regulator is flawed and the original design was never tested. It spews water everywhere
and it was designed that way. The drip emitters do not meter the water either. 
I ended up buying a new pressure regulator and emitter from Lowes. I conceded that I paid $6 for the hose, but then I found out that the emitters from Lowes will not work with that hose.

I would get a cheap timer for the lights
clean your tank several times the week prior to your absence
Instruct your friend to feed like 2 times a week, and to keep the water topped off (if you can trust them to change water have them do it every other week)
I would think with light feedings the fish would be ok with few or no water changes for 6 weeks.
