okay so I know this is kind of like a really newbie question but I was wondering exactly how much and how often should I change my water in14 gallon biocube with two small clowns and a small orchid dottyback

I'm a fan of 10% weekly. I think a two gallons would be appropriate.

thats what i did in my bigger tank, but i thought in smaller tanks you have to do bigger changes, or is that only if its under 10 gallons or overstocked?

It is all circumstantial to your stocking/habits. 10% should be adequate, by my estimate, unless you feed heavily.

Do you have a skimmer or any other way to export nutrients? Running chemipure or purigen?

I do 4gal weekly water changes on my BC29.
