I and another person on this board have gone months without changing ours and the water quality was still in A+ conditions. Though we both use a lot of live plants, and i personally use items like stress zyme and have found it to help keep things clean, that and I test my water regularly so I know what's going on in my water - everyone should test their water. If you dont test your water it's best to just change the bags every now and then.
