Not ever unless you're going to remove meds or something you added you don't want in the tank anymore.

You don't have to as long as you don't care if it is effective. After a month or two it will reduce the ability to affect the water. I use it to remove tannin released from my wood so I have a crystal clear tank.
I have read that you can reconstitute it by placing it in a high salt content water solution. If interested, you can Google it. I replace mine every couple months and the tank is noticeably more clear compared to the "ice tea" looking water that the wood resulted in.
