I must be seeing things because I know my tank didn't just cycle in 24 hours. I just set up my 30 gallon tank. It has an Aquaclear 70 Hob filter. I have 2 small fantails in there now. Originally I had a 10 gallon with a Whisper 20. I couldn't get the ammonia down and at the suggestion of daryl, went out and got the 30. My tap water reads 0 for Ammonia, Nitrites, and Nitrates. I used Amquel + on the new tank to help with the tap water. (Maybe that's the problem).
I just took a reading:
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 5.0
pH 7.2-7.4

When I checked this morning though
Ammonia .25
Nitrites .5
Nitrates 0

I haven't done a water change since yesterday and haven't added anything to the tank except peas, which I fed the fish hours ago.
Does this mean my tank's cycled?

Looks promising, but only time will tell.

So what all from the 10 gallon did you add to the 30?
and how long had the 10 gallon tank been set up?

The 10 gallon was set up for 2 1/2 weeks. I moved everything from the old tank to the new one (gravel, decorations). I put the old Whisper 20 from the 10 gallon on the tank with the new Aquaclear 70. I just tested the water this morning and the params are the same as above. Maybe it did cycle. I'm happy either way, no more ammonia burns or trouble breathing.

For sure! Having more water is helping by diluting down the ammonia, so it doesn't build up so fast.
