I change a couple gallons per week in my DX12.I recommend that you get in this habit.Is there livestock in this tank?

After the cycle I would do a 25% water change with RO water. Then a day or two after that I would add a clean up crew, if you haven't already. Give them a week or two, if all is well you can then add a fish and/or a few corals.

corals shouldn't be added for at least six months, the tank needs to be established first.
test your water a day or two after the water change, before you add fish/inverts. Make sure your levels are good.

Sinner's Girl:
I agree that certain more sensitive corals should not be added until the tank has established itself for a time, but more hardy corals such as zoos, shrooms and GSP should be ok as long as the levels are all ok. JMO

I do a water change every week about a gallon or so on my 10gal.
