There's been times in my reefing life where my tanks have gone for 8 or so weeks. Mature tanks in good condition can handle it.

i went 1 year and 2 months without cleaning one of my tanks (without water changes), topped of the water, added a bit of calcium, mag, and baking soda from time to time, cleaned the glass with a magnetic scraper, but that was it
