I started cycling my tank on Sunday (1/9) and so far it is looking great, Dr. Tims Ammonia and Turbostart are magic.

I had originally planned on adding livestock on 1/23 if all the parameters looked stable.

I completely forgot I have tickets to MACNA in April so I am not sure if I should wait until that event to buy my first livestock - and if I do wait until then how do I keep my tank cycled without livestock? Keep adding Ammonia every few days? Ghost Feed?
 
As long as there is something that can release ammonia to keep the bacteria happy and multiplying you should be fine. So adding ammonia or ghost feeding should do it.
