Once your cycle is complete, a 20% change, then 10% weekly. You'll want to rinse that sponge weekly as well. You'll be surprised by how much gunk the sponge catches.
 
Nice tank you have started.

Personally when I ran my nano (a 29g biocube) I did 5g a week since it didn't have a skimmer and I couldn't find one that fit without having to cut a hole in the top of the cover to make one work..

I know Tunze released a nano skimmer unit this past year at MACMA, it was supposed to have a heater slot, and a built in space for their nano ATO system.. Not sure on the price but with the Tunze name attached it probably won't be cheap. :(
 
i have a aquamaxx skimmer see pics its nice and quite to
