Water Change for the first time

[Justnick]

When do I do my first water change the tank been up and running since 2-7

When your cycle finishes do a water change

When that

When that

You will need to monitor it with a test kit. Checking for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.

When that

It's only been running 3 days? Is this a fish in cycle?

 

[bribo12]

Are there already fish in the tank?

 

[Justnick]

Yes two cheep one

Yes two cheep one

I would suggest returning them and doing a fishless cycle of the tank. Otherwise you are going to need to test your ammonia daily and do a 50% water change to keep the ammonia no higher than .25ppm. This could be as often as daily.

Sorry, this is a repost

If you can I would take the fish out and let the tank cycle, if not you will need lots of ro-di water and salt on hand to do wc's when ammonia gets above .25ppm
