I empty my skimmer when the throat near the top of the skimmer is solid or nearly solid with brown sludge. IMHO the sludge hinders the flow of scum into the skimmer cup and reduces effectiveness.

I have no personal experience with that particular skimmer but I can say whrn the throat of my sond tunze gets to dirty it won't skim at all. If your not getting any nitrates and the tank looks good leave it alone and keep the neck and cup clean.
