Yea it should be fine.. Just between you and I and the chance of getting

I do water chances like once a year, but I have a very low bio load + tons of live rock in my tank

WAter changes are for two things.
1. remove nutrients that build up.
2. replace elements that are used by corals.
Yea a few weeks will be fine. Hell I have gone like 6 weeks. The corals dont decline but they also dont look so happty. If your going to go more than 6-8 weeks get a service to come in and do it. Or a friend.

Your tank will be fine. If you need help, let me know and I'll help you out with it.
BTW, finally got that 75 going that I got from you.

if you have to do it, and you dont,
use pumps and syphons - no heavy lifting is required for WCs

lol, I have gone a couple of years in one tank without doing a water change. It's not that big of a deal if you keep up with your filtration system and don't have much of a bioload. good luck!
