I was going to do a water chnage in my 20 gallon tank today but decided not to until at least tomorow to give my guppies some time to adjust. But I was also wondering if I were to do a water change on monday then do another one on Wed is that to soon? The tank needs a good gravel clean and I think doing 2 would help get it as clean as it should be. So would doing a water change on Mon and then on Wed be ok?
 
It will be fine, you can do small water changes everyday if you want to. It isnt recomended to vacume too regularly as you may remove too much of the benefitial bacteria from the tank bed. Personally i leave all the gravel cleaning in my main tank to the trumpet snails which live in the gravel and only clean my other tanks which have sand substrates when there is a noticable ammount of poo on the sand, which is probably about once a month.
