    The best thing to do is get someone to come in a few times a week.

    If you don't have a friend or family member that will help you, hire a pet sitting service. They'll only have to come in about 5-6 times (fish don't need attention every day) so it shouldn't be expensive.

    The autofeeders and those bricks you can get aren't trustworthy for a variety of reasons.

    If this person can come in every three days thats fine... Don't feed them more then you ussually do... Fish can survive without eating for up to 2 weeks so its not essential to feed twice every day.
