So how often do you clean your wet dry system? I clean the pre filter pads every week or every other week but i rarely clean the bio balls themselves. I probably do it once a year.

I never clean the bioballs.

I clean the mechanical filtration when it needs to be.

You gotta clean the bioballs sometime cause eventually debris builds upn them and eventually nitrates will increase more rapidly. Fine Mechanical media makes a difference, the finer the media is the less often you will have to clean the bioballs.
