Those look great! I (kinda) like the appearance of my shell rock...maybe might go with a wee bit more cement next time.
Remember when making MMLR, part of the goal to to have as much surface space and pores/opening as possible/practical. The overall idea is creating a haven for massive amounts of happy bacteria
