I can confirm Marine Pure can be pretty brittle. I ordered two blocks, one crumbled if you looked at it. BRS replaced that one for me. The other is more reasonable but, still fragile.

I had 3 marine pure blocks and 3 Brightwell bricks, all became brittle. I now only use Siporax in 2 tower filters I made.
60g hex reef i feed like 2x a day often alot more then i should.
Nitrates are 0-10ppm 24.7 i never have to do water chsbges. I have a homemade canister with 4 liters of denitrate from seachem in them.. running at 40gph (lower flow the better) and in 2 weeks of hooking this up my nitrates were from 40ppm every 4 days and having to do water changes... to 0-10 and never doing water changes.
Sooo tbh this is the easiest way to keep nitrates really low to be honest... no need for a sump no need for any special equipment.. just a zip tie container i added fitting too poured denitrate in.. and sealed it up with silicone and hooked a low flow rate pump too

Reviving this thread.....I am considering adding denitrate to my 120, either in the sump or in some kind of media reactor.
As long as the denitrate in the sump in a low flow area, should I not get the same denitrification benefits, tho it may take longer that if in a reactor?
