kd123 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I assume you are changing the water. I boiled mine about 6/8 times for a 10 min duration and changed the water each time. It never got completely clear but also it never discloured the tank water when i eventually put it in...good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitzy Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 i Have changed the water each time after its boiled for a bout 15 mins , its not as dark now so maybe ill just stop now and hopefully it won't leech. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayci Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I didn't boil my coconut cave and didn't notice any leeching. All the fibre on the outside, disappeared after about a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattythecatty Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 do you have to weight them down in the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
