i just set up a 55gal on sunday how long b4 i can transfer my 2 med oscars to that tank. new rocks old tank but cleaned out very well i used stress zyme and coat. i put test golds in there and they r still alive and well
 
Test your water. I don't know why you would put goldfish in?

By putting goldfish in there, you are exposing your fish that are already established to any number of different diseases and parasites. Take the goldfish back, clean the tank thoroughly, and when you are done, fill up the new tank with water, dechlorinate it, temperature match it to your other tank, and put the old fish in the new tank, with all old filters from old tank. Done.
 
2 med. oscars actually create a pretty good bioload on a 55. i would wait till the tank completely cycles. do a partial water change on your other tank and put the old water in the 55. there is alot of info here for fishless cycling.
