None. You don't want to change any water until the cycle is finished. At that point I'd remove 40-50% and then after that switch to weekly changes of about 10%

Yes, wait untill your Ammonia and NitrITE are zero, and your nitrATES are about 10ppm, and stay that way for around a week to ensure they all stay constant...
