So, with the fish that I have and the tank that I have. Every 2 weeks is fine I presume?

Would once a month be too long?

Also I noticed that my cartridge for my bio-wheel is never that dirty, even after 2 months. I know people that wait 4 months before changing it and they were fine, but I get told to change it every month? What's the deal on that?

By the way, my water is ALWAYS clean, it always looks sparkly clean.
