I do a partial every two weeks and clean the filters every month. I think you have to keep a close eye on the water as turts get bigger. It's never happened to me, but I heard somewhere that not doing at least partial water changes can destroy the filter's Bio. I can't recall why, but I think it had to do with the nitrates.....
