I have biocube 14 with a Media rack. The rack has filter floss, purigen and chemi-pure. When i replace those, should i do it one at a time or just change them as needed. Basically should I be worried about replacing them both at the same time????

Replace the filter floss at your weekly water changes. The purigen can last up to 6 months and the chemi pure elite about 4 months. So... Do it in steps IMO.
 
You say weekly water changes is this 5% water change And should you do it every week or as the tank establish could u start monthly changes with day to day and week to week maintenance
