Does the instruction in the pack ask you to boil????

yes.
it says:
- Wash the surface of the bamboo charcoal well with water before using
- boil well in a pot
- allow to dry in the sun.

You were saying boil every month to drive out toxic, did thet mention this in the instruction?

I am hearing different thing on boil to drive out toxic in used chachoal, so want to see if it is mention anyway.

never mention. but they say it works for 3mth. so i guess we have to reboil it every 3mths? anyone can enlighten?

hi guys.. anyone using the charcoal bamboo now?
i just added mine yesterday(luckily it sinked after 24hours of soaking) tied some weeping moss(long one) and spiky moss(short one) to it.. will take out and boil them every 3 mths..

i observed that my shrimps especially my black diamond have become more active after adding it..
shrimps walk around the tank more often.. instead of hiding..
