Every month or two? Holy crap what am I doing right? I get a full year out of mine. Each week I'll clean the glass once with just the mag float and then once a month I'll attach the blade to get rid of the coraline algae that has started to build up. Afterwards I'll give it a quick rinse with in freshwater to lessen the corrosion. That being said, I probably only use it about 12 times on my 120gal before replacing it with a new blade.
