I would recommend every 3 months. Make sure you use chem pure elite. The forum seem to say it works better. They also use purigen 100. I have a 34 gallon. Reef sanctuary is a great forum to learn about tanks. I am also running a reef set up.

I'd recommend keeping it no longer than 3 months. The instructions says that it'll stay activated for 3-4 months. However, that doesn't that it'll last that long. If your water quality is really poor, I'd recommend you change the bag out sooner.

It claims every 4-6 months but I'm sure they are just talking up their product. I'd say every 3 months if you use the recommended amount to begin with.

I Use Chemi-Pure Elite 11.74 OZ. in all my aquariums, one in my 30 gallon, two in my 65 gal, two in my 75 gal and my six in my 180 gal. You only need one per thirty gallons. it should last about six months. I rinse them once a month, use aquarium water, not tap water, it has chlorine in it and will kill the beneficial anaerobic bacteria. Good Luck!

They say it lasts for 6 months, but I change mine every 3-4 months just to be sure. I have good water quality using this product.

It really depends on how much you use it, it says about 16 gallons per filter, but I've found that it varies from time of the year (you drink more water in the summer), I'd say you would have to replace a filter at least once every 2 months.

thankfully i haven't needed to run it more then the regular test runs. manual says 8 hours an a 30lb tank so 4 sounds about right. i did stock up on 30lb tanks.

The manufacturer recommends changing the filter every 30 gallons. We sell a 12 pack of filters for $14.95. The unit comes with six filters. It just has this one filter.

Brenda, just remove the filter and rinse it off and place it back in the tank. It will last another week or so and then just replace it with a new one. Replacing every 30-45 days keeps my tank very clean.

Hello Judi...not sure but I suspect there is a 10 year life span before it needs to be checked. My tank is on my boat which is in storage..unable to check at this time.

I would clean and do a full water change once a week. The filters are easy to find on amazon for cheap too and should be changed out every 6 weeks or so. Other than full water change and just wiping down with a paper towel, it's a pretty low maintenance tank.

for my 30 gallon i get about 2 month at a high rate, depends on what size tank you have as well, with a 20oz

Its depends of the size or the aquarium and number of fishes. Don't believe the company, I use to replace maybe each 3-4 month and some components do not have to be replace, only wash them. Regards!!!

I have never had to replace it that often. Is your water extremely hard? Are there many contaminants in it?

I would say so,we've been using it now for 2 yrs in our rv which is a 30 gal black tank and works great probably don't need to use as much base it on gal amounts and got from there

depends on your water source and how much you use the maker. We change ours every 3 months

I don't know. I do not have that problem but I empty the tank quite often. Even though I live in a pretty dry climate I still drain the tank every couple weeks.

Personally I have an extra pump for my color changing bubbles. I have a 75 gal fresh water tank. Although your tank is smaller you would want the bubbles to e strong and you wouldn't want to take away from the filtering capabilities of the 30 gallon pump. I'm sure you will enjoy the bubbles. I know my fish do.

I think it's supposed to be two months or 200 gallons, whichever comes first, the "whichever comes first" being the key statement. I change mine every two months, even though I know I don't use anywhere near the 200 gallons at that point. Less than $7 per month for filtered water is worth it to me. I think it needs to be changed that often as leaving it in longer may cause things to grow in it. I just don't take the chance and change it every two months, regardless of the fact that it probably hasn't had 50 gallons run through it at that point.

I don't recommend 30 Gallons tank. I bought this for 10 gallon tank. It was not enough.And I found a problem. Connection is weak.(from light parts to AC adaptor)

it helped, biggest problem I had was it required constant cleaning, daily! also in 55 gallon tank I would use 2 , I ended up putting a home made filer around inlet to stop plugging
