Really depends on your setup. Apart from top ups when needed, I only wc once a month for maintenance.
A little more info on your system would be helpful

Wow, you put me to shame! No wonder they look new.
Short answer is yes, they should be fine - particularly due to your feeding regime.
Maybe back off the ferts for the six weeks just to be on the safe side

Just keep an eye on your pH, if its dropping too much in a week, add a bit of dead coral or shellgrit near a filter to buffer.
