IMHO, I prefer momotaro bacteria house to marine pure.
The former is still hard as granite after few years of usage.
Marine pure can crush with bare hands after sometime in the sump when doing maintenance

Agree about the friable material of Marine pure.

Bloody regret buying two cartons.

Seachem matrix I think is just porous stones, after ten years still the same.

They do degrade, but not as fragile as marine pure.
My old seachem matrix have lost their jutting out edges and become even curved edges like pebbles.
