How long do you run your rox .08 carbon before changing it out?

I’m running a mini reactor with just less than a cup of carbon. I have mixed reviews reading online of changing it in a week or a month.

Thank you 🙏
 
I've always changed in with my wc which is every two weeks.
Timmy!

I haven’t done a W/C since Feb 19th lol but the tank hasn’t needed one. But I bet I should soon lol
 
2 weeks for me

I have 3 4’’ filter socks that I have 3D printed caddy’s for.

I have a small pouch of GFO in each, and a medium pouch of Carbon in each.

Everytime I remember to do a filter floss change (twice a week or so) I change 1/3 bags for carbon. I used to do GFO at same interval but don’t need to anymore.
 
So I’d imagine each compartment gets changed every 10-12 days but this way I get more cycling of fresh carbon. I think it’s effect is short lived tbh
 
Just ordered a gallon from BRS. Thanks for the reminder
