I'm running an Eheim 2215 on my 55 gallon and was curious how (and how often) others maintain their filters...

I've been told to replace the top filter pad monthly (which I haven't done, instead choosing to rinse it thoroughly in tank water - but now it's falling apart and I think it's time to replace it), but haven't received much guidance beyond that. Tips, anyone?
