if i forget to boil the charcoal bamboo, would it release the toxic it had absorbed earlier like that of the active carbon sold in lfs?

about this boiling procedure, is it stated in the packaging when we purchase the bamboo?

hi guys. i am thinking. will crushing the bambo charcoal and den placing them in a washing bag den placed inside the filter be as good as placing 1 big tube into our shrimp tank?
reason why i dun wan those big tube inside my tank cause its kinda ulgy when i need to boil everymonth so i cant put moss on top.

its the same as AC. you need to deep boil them every month. i guess they will release all those toxic they abosorb after 1 mth. so its best you boil every month to play safe

hi guys. just bought 1 pack of charcoal bamboo from daiso. on the back of the pack. it says "cleaning and deodorizing effects work for 3 months" so i guess we only have to re-boil them every 3months? anyone use more den 1 mth alrready? was worried that after 1 mth the toxic they absorbed will be returned back to the water.
