quick question

[chicken neck]

Hi..been browsing this sight for months and its great! I recently upgraded to a 29 gallon reef tank..been going for about a month now. Used the live rock out of my other tank and i have 2 damsels (for cycling ) and two anenomes. When should I do my first water change? Thanks

It is about that time. First you should check
your specs... ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite. And since you're setting up a reef tank, it would not be a bad time to check phosphates.
Also, you should now start a type of calcium supplement. I recommend Kalkwasser and any sort of concentrated liquid calcium supplement. Kent has a good Kalkwasser product, and seachem seems to have the best Calcium additives. Best of luck.

Thanks Zach.. I will try those things. And by the way I also have a 55 gal african cichlid tank!
