Instructions and Guidelines
Use one XPort Bio Brick for every 1,000 U.S. gallons (3,800 L) of system capacity, more for heavy bio loads. Rinse material well with aquarium water or purified tap water. For superior results, seed the material well with the aquarium water or purified tap water. For superior results, seed the material using FLORINBACTER, MICROBACTER7 or MICROBACTER CLEAN as appropriate for your aquarium, by placing XPORT BIO BRICK in a plastic container, filling it with aquarium water, and then adding the full recommended dose of either bacterial product,based on the size of your aquarium, to that container. Allow to stand overnight and then add the seeded XPORT BIO BRICK to your system. You may also add the water back to your aquarium if desired. It is recommended that you use sponge, fine filter floss or other material. For maximum results, also provide a good carbon source of growing bacteria, such as Brightwell KATALYST bio pellets or liquid REEF BIO FUEL or FLORIN AXIS as appropriate for your aquarium, as directed on their label.

Yes, I would recommend this.
Last about a year or so...
Pros: Very porous
Cons: crumbles with time
Works well, and makes sump clean-up easy for the first year. At around 14mths, it started to crumble, and by a year and a half it was gone.

Does its job
Pros: lots of surface area
Cons: some say it crumbles later
Stays wet during sump maintenance, haven't had it long enough to see if it crumbles

Just got it but seems to work
I just got this but the pore space is great. I was using rock rubble from Caribe sea but it was collecting detritus and I wanted something in my sump I could clean out around it. This brick seems like it will work better. I will keep you updated on how it is doing in the future.
