So I've recently taken on a tank thats been running for quite a while. Its been moved to my house and is currently cycling and has been for 3 weeks. Any advice would be appreciated! All my tests are coming back perfect! I'm trying to keep it up! What's your opinion?

Welcome! Glad you joined. I also bought and relocated someone else's tank, so while I 'thought' that would speed up the process, my opinion is still treat it like a new tank. Keep doing what you are doing, add slow, but sounds like you are well on your way! Congrats!!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Welcome! It would be great if you made a build thread to track your progress and left more details about your tank. This will help us know what to help you with.

What are you looking to stock in your tank?

Welcome, your going to find a vast of information here and many opinions.

Can you tell us how you took possession?
Did you save all the water, rock, sand, livestock?
Do you have a sump?
Did you keep everything "wet" when it moved to your house?
I find that if everything stayed wet in water the cycle will be at a minimum. Maybe 2 days. If it didn't stay wet, it will be longer.

If you have test kits the ammonia and nitrite will tell you if it's cycled.
API test kits are cheap and unreliable. Try to spend a little more in this area. Maybe you got test kits with the deal?

Anyway, welcome.
