I just abandoned my tank about a month into my cycle. Experienced a slight die off but it bounced back ok.

Should hopefully be in the Nitrite phase then. Throw some fish food in and it should tick over nicely

 

[Geoff1991]

I didnt even do that to be honest. I think fishfood would help with the die off though. But i wouldnt worry about it while youre away.
