If you are going six weeks between emptying your black tank I suspect you aren't using enough water. I can go about 2-2 1/2 weeks, and I'm single. The solids don't have enough liquid to dissolve and are staying in the tank.

If it was just emptied now is a good time to turn off the water, open the toilet valve and shine a flashlight down into the tank. If you see "stuff" and don't see the smooth plastic bottom of the tank you have a problem that is only going to get worse if you aren't proactive.
