      Question on a new tank

      I recently setup a new tank (cycled for 4 to 5 weeks)? It's been running 3 weeks (after the cycle) now with fish and corals.
      My question is How long should I wait before I do my first water change?
      how many gallons should I do on my fist water change? Ive been luck to not lose anything during the transfer
      It is a 120 gallon tank transferred about 20 gallon of water from my 34 galloon aquarium during the cycle.

      Depends on your bio load, what do you have in the tank?

      I would have done a water change once the cycle was over

      Agree, after cycle, but you are still good, just begin now.
      I think 10% weekly is best, especially first 6 mo or more on a new tank to keep dietrus and crud from building up or taking hold, once tank matures that could relax to every other week doing 15% WC's, or at least this has worked best for me.
