What do I do while on vacation?

I am going to be gone for 2 or 3 days. I have been feeding everyday and today twice. I ussually feed every other day. Should I leave me lights on? Will it hut the fish to leave the lights off for 3 days. I kind of need answers quick cause im leaving soon.

Go to Radio Shack, or some hardware store, and get a timer or two. They sell for like $5 and will turn the lights on and off at whatever times you want.
They also sell autofeeders for flake food. Check your LFS.

There are several times a month that I don't feed the fish for 2-3 days in a row - on purpose.
They don't need 3 meals a day - like me
Most species do not required food all the time - most hardy species should be fine without a feeding for 3 days.
Especially if your tank and rock have some pods for the fish to pick at.
