I setup my korallin c-1502 reactor and was starting to wonder when I could do a water change. I am do for one in about 2 weeks.
Will I need to readjust things again? or do I let it ride and start testing 2 to 3 days after the water change?

The newly mixed salt water you are adding should have near perfect levels if you are using a quality salt mix

Keep in mind that RC is horribly high in alk though. I use it but I hate it.

you could also use IO and adjust the level before doing wc.

I always test the water the day after a water change and adjust with 2 part as needed. I use reef crystals. Shouldn't change much, if at all, once you get your ca reactor humming and things nice and stable.
