It would prolly be best if you only feed the smaller fish tanks and the planted 75 with the small aro.

The bigger fish in the 180 are most likely better off not eating but having better water quality for the duration you're gone. If they're over 5-6inches they can survive a month without eating if they're healthy enough now.

Double or Triple your gravel cleaning and water changes the two weeks before you leave to get the water quality the best and prepare your fish. Then one last water change the day before you leave.

You could get away with buying a feeder for only the 75g aro tank and then using 2week feeder blocks for the other small tanks, or just get smaller auto feeders for these tanks.

I have a 24g aquapod with 10 cardinal tetras, 6 ghost glass cats, and a betta setup in my mom's office room that I mistakenly assumed she would feed everyday and I would do the weekly maintenance. Well after about 4-5 weeks I noticed the glass cats stomachs were awfully small (easy to notice since they're see through lol), and it turned out that she had not been feeding them the whole time. Anyways I feed that tank now and all the inhabitants turned out ok.

My oscars the biggest is 11inches and other two 8-9inches. I purchased a cheapo feeder made by pennplax for $9.00 at Meijers. Will be using this for the 75aro tank.
