I flush it every 2 weeks. Is there something wrong with me?I view cleaning the filter as "flushing" the toilet.
You can do a water change, but all the stuff your filter sucks up (poop, mostly) stays in there, and then all the clean water flows through it. When you clean and rinse the filter, that is the only time the gunk gets removed.
How often do you flush your toilet? I don't rinse my media every week because my HOB is a huge pain to remove the media from... but I really should

You'd be amazed at all the crap that comes out and how brown that water will get in the bucket.
