Aquarox's grow bed media

Anyone had much experience with that product? Would you recommend it over Hydroton? I know that kellen weissenbach  has experience with it but I'm not able to message him directly.

    Hello Todd,

    Yes, I use AquaRox, and I've been very pleased with the product.  The aquarox media in my outdoor systems have gone through 3 winters outside now, and held up great (no cracking or breakdown at all).  It was much cheaper than hydroton, and in my experience it is far better at anchoring plant roots than hydroton and other round/smooth media.  You can find more info here: http://alliedaqua.com/aquarox-aquaponics-and-hydroponics-grow-media...

    Small Lava rocks (basalt) ,though jagged, is usually cheap and works well.
