Alternatives to sand and lead shot for stands


Sand is too messy and lead shot is kind of expensive. I was wondering whether aquarium gravel would work as well. I'd like it cause its cheap and not messy like sand. I'm just unsure whether it would be inferior to sand or shot. Any recommendations?

I understand lead shot is also available steel plated as it is illegal to use pure lead shot in many places beacause of toxicity/environmental concerns. This would alleviate handling/disposal concerns.
