Oh goodness!

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, 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.
I kept and transported everything. Water and liverock and kept eveything wet. I bought multiple types of test to compare against eachother. And so far eveything is running smoothly.! Thank you for advice if you have suggestions on the best testing supplies please let me know!
