I have a lot of LR. Most very porous and light. When it was put in the tank at least. But I also have one piece that I really like the shape of. Unfortunately it is very dense, and heavy. I imagine if I had a sump, that a few pieces of this MarinePure, in the sump would counteract this dense piece of LR.

Are you currently having troubles with your tank that you believe is caused by lack of bacteria?

Nope
Just like looking into advances of scientific improvements.
Don't have boiballs, nor a sump, but when I do put a sump into the system, I want to plan for whats best.

Sorry Wokaid, thought that was for me.

Not sure it's a scientific improvement, it's just a large foam block made from stone. I do think that with current trends in minimalism, it has a place in the sump (or otherwise hidden) to allow bacterial bonding sites in the absence of rock and sand. Easy to stack multiples in a flow through chamber, etc. allowing someone to use maybe 1 large center piece rock in the display.

As an addition to a functioning reef though, I'm not sure it's needed or would help.

Also, keeping one in the sump as a backup filter for QT setup would be handy!

More also, I think the thick slab could conceivably be used as a substitute to a remote DSB. Maybe.
