Then the next water change do the other one. Keep rotating back and forth like that. This gunk (detritus) can be a direct cause for an increase in nitrates. You want to get it out of the tank before it has a chance to become broken down into ammonia by the bacteria. Once it starts breaking down the end result in the tank is nitrates.
