Change it abut every other day. Wash them with bleach and double rinse. I tur. Ine inside out and wash them with bleach and an extra rinse. Then I turn them right side out and run them no bleach no extra rinse.

Clean socks= happy tanks. Sock help keep particulates out of the water, but can be pollution factories if not changed regularly. Some people change them daily.
