Long story short, I will be away from my tanks quite a bit this summer.
I can stretch out water changes and have an ATO. Just got set up for automated dosing as well.
However, I have not figured out a good solution for automated feeding. I have one of those battery powered rotary feeders that I have used in the past, but I just haven't had good luck with the pellets. Tank has been on a frozen and nori diet for the last couple of years.

Is there some sort of liquid food I could run through a dosing pump or something similar? I will be gone for up to a week at a time.

I have a yellow tang, lawnmower blenny, and 3 wrasses to feed.

Puchase an Avast Plank feeder and never look back. Best feeder out there, without question.

Use their reef jerky along with your flake or pellets and if you don't have a controller you can use a simple timer from Amazon

@AVAST Marine what timers are people using?

I have my plank setup as a doser on my GHL controller. I think it is the best feeder on the market.

Also using a plank feeder. Feeding freeze dried mysis and pellets controlled by a smart plug. I feed throughout the day small amounts of food Works great
