HI guys I have a new 60 gallon aquarium I started yesterday I used a active filter and and some decor from my active 30 gallon to jump start this tanks cycle as well as a guppy and glo fish my question here is I tested a day after set up and all my readings are good is this just because its newly set up ? I highly doubt it is just would like some feed back thanks in advance

Moving a filter or just filter media from an established tank to a new tank will bring part of the cycle from the old tank.

I think you will be OK with the 2 fish you have if chlorine is gone and ammonia is 0 or less than .5 and nitrites are 0 and nitrates build up to 5-10ppm.....and you watch all the parameters closely.....back before the internet I didn't even know what the nitrogen cycle was and with frequent water changes and chlorine remover my fish did OK.....
