Hydroton (also known as LECA), is a pelletized expanded clay aggregate that is commonly used in hydroponic gardening. We use it in all of our Jungleboxes as a drainage layer underneath soil and other substrates. Hydroton is an excellent drainage layer because it is much lighter than aquarium gravel, has a neutral PH, promotes beneficial bacterial growth, and can be sterilized and reused over and over. Rinse well before use. Price is for 4 dry quarts. (One bag is roughly enough for a 1" layer in a standard 10 gallon aquarium or 2 vertical 10 gallon tanks.
