I would do 10% per week.
This can be your schedule for the next year until your tank matures.
You can even vac the sand bed each week.

Do tell Brandon, do tell.hey can you post a pic of the tank in the uglies, we've all been there.
there are some amazing physical cheats that can be done to make it look great, much faster than using dosed scrubbing bac. pics show if some cleaning cheats are avail and useful here based on layout and details in pic
for xample with a pic we can determine if the current light intensity is required or something to be attained next year, that can help tremendously. there are nine other tricks in addition lol

Whats a rip clean?we all know this leads to a rip clean, im merely looking for ways to justify it. gimme em pics
if the tank is huge we'll forego it. if its a nano then we'll champion the six recent nanos we booted back into shape as links to copy
I have no new tricks.
You dont have to do any but if appearance is an issue, start with blowing with a turkey baster. Once loosened, siphon. In most cases, you are dealing with diatoms. Diatoms are a brown algae that typically appear in a reef tank that has just completed its cycle but they can also appear in an established reef tank. They can cover sand, rock, pumps, glass, you name it. Diatoms look ugly but in most cases they are harmless so the key is to not panic when they appear.how many water changes a week should i do through the ugly stage ?

Any opinions on what type of algae this is growing on my rocks and sand bed?www.reef2reef.com
gotta admit we have a tank on file already fixed to match any work job needed. Power man cleaning should be considered for all accessible reefs. Does not harm a cycle or set one back. Causes awesomeness
Mines the 35.2 waterbox mateok, ya just follow the directions and stick to the weekly wc.
I think, if I remember correctly, we have the same 20g cube?
I just add 3 capfuls of it after weekly 15% water change. I don't have a skimmer or UV
