i was kind of surprised with a trip for my birthday this week, and my tank is in the cycle phase, its very close to being done as well (nitrates and nitrities are constant during testing)

What should I do for the 3 days ill be gone? Its processing 4 ppm of ammonia rather quickly so I'd hate to have the bacteria starve and have to restart
 
Try adding some fish flakes in or a prawn it should supply some ammonia over the time your away, not as much as you have been using but it's better than nothing.
