It's important to filter out crap in your tank.
There are many instances where there is crap flying around....only to be cleaned up by the socks. Change them out once a week and your golden. Mine are always FILTHY! Get that crap out of my tank! Also if you have a mistake happen....like my Purigen filter bag broke open and dump 500g of the stuff into the tank.....filter socks cleaned that up quick

And if you can't do maintenance once a week...get another hobby.
I work on my tank daily but only touch the socks on the weekends.

I believe their conclusion was 1-2 week change outs are fine.
Not 2-3 days.

I’m looking into building a roller filter and get rid of the filter socks.
Anyone have one? |

More often = better.. Detritus,etc... breaks down much faster than 7-14 days..

They have a higher cost but overall maintenance should be far less vs filter socks..
