Some time back I got a bag of a "fired clay" product from O'rielly auto parts. I don't remember if it was thrifty-sorb or another similar brand name. I used it just to see how it would work. The brand I used held together when wet but it was not as stable over time as I wanted. 
 
There was another product at the time that I looked at on the internet. It was substrate for planted aquariums but it was really expensive. I think it was Florite.
 
I wanted to change to pumice but that was not available here so i got some lava rock from Lowe's and crushed it up into smaller pieces. 
 
The aquarium biz has some really nice course sand but they are very expensive.
