hey there, I'm by far no expert but the first thing I think you should do is put in a some "bio-spira" or cycle or whatever bacteria in a bottle product you can fine locally. That will help kickstart your cycle.

Your right, this is a pretty critical time for the tank, so a tank buddy would be best while your gone.

I would take it easy on the feedings for a while as well, till your tank settles out.
Hope that helps.

also I should say maybe start looking through the old threads, tank journals, and new to the hobby sections and decide whether you want to go with things like carbon, gfo, and other filtration/tech stuff. Most is personal preference and you won't need any of it right away probably but it doesn't hurt to start researching.
