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?

Wal-Mart sells lead shot. Just pour small amounts in to a seperate container and use a funnel. You'll never have to touch it that way. It comes in a bag from Wal-Mart and is hard to handle because of the weight, so a seperate container is needed or you'll be sorry when you spill it!
