I'd say at the very least,once a month.Unless you've got a heavy bio-load.
I cant remember what all you have in your tank.If you've got a lot of fish or several big fish,then you might want to change it every other week.

I just hooked mine up also. Seems to be working. That's what I was going to do is change mine once a month.

It does the same thing. Not sure how often you need to change it. That should be on the container.

The gfo pellets from bulkreefsupply.com works great. I change it out about every 6 weeks.
