lava rocks will destroy your hands. you couldn't pay me to garden with that stuff. I suggest you stop your local landscaper and ask him/her where they get their pea gravel from. they'll be able to supply you with probably the cheapest you'll find.
unless you have cydi.com in your area. they are by far the cheapest source I've found yet. last time I bought from them, it was $88 a ton. more than you'll ever need.
are your beds really 9" wide? that seems rather narrow and when you get decent root growth/muck buildup, it could block the flow to the drain.

Has anyone used red lava rocks for media? I have 4 beds 17 feet long 9 inch's wide and 10 inch's deep. When I called the aqua store to fill the beds I was told it would cost $5000.00 to fill them with shail. Clay balls would not be much cheaper. So I'm looking at red lave rock. I can fill the beds for about $350.00 so I am soaking some lave rock to see how the PH is and the TDS. I'm just building my system ( flood and drain) How long between fill cycles? It will take about 20 mins. to fill the box. Any help would be very helpful. Thank you in advance Robbee.

We had problems with the tadpoles in our DWC. They were feasting on the roots of the plants. I put a couple of small catfish in the bed and they kept the pest to a minimum. I have heard tetra do a good job too. Goldfish will eat the roots also. Do some research on what ever fish you plan to use. Good luck. If you can catch the tadpoles, toss them into your fish tank. Your fish will enjoy the treat.

John, what did you ever do with the tadpoles? I've had my system for four years and never had them before, now my system is loaded!
