There are a lot of pet sitters where people come into your house and look after your dogs a few times a day. It's nice as the dog can stay at home where they are comfortable and don't get to stressed out about it (if they are kenneled while you are not at home I suppose this wouldn't work though). I believe they will usually take them for a couple walks a day as well as stay for about an hour each time they are there to hang out and play with them, so I bet they could also watch the tank for you too.
You might even consider paying someone to actually stay at your place the whole time you are away, don't you know any University students that you trust that would love to get away from their parents for a week or two to stay at your place? Just a thought.
I know a lot of dog boarding places have webcams now and you can log into a computer and see what the dogs are doing while you are away, it's pretty cool actually and gives you a bit of peace of mind if you can see they are having fun.
