go to a hydroponic shop and get hydroton (expanded clay pellets)  the 4-6mm size works best for me, but is harder to get than the 8-16mm.  it works similar to perlite.  GL

...oh, and its "perlite" not pearlite. lol :grin:

My setup is a mono tub, casing no air pump just fanning and holes in mono tub with polyfill in them.

it can be used over and over if you bake it at 250-300 degrees in the oven for at least 2-3 hrs.
