I'd fill it with bio balls. They allow for the higher flow rate and are relatively cheap. Bio rings tend to get pretty clogged in fx5s

I was thinking about posibly using some medium size lava gravel for media. Would it work or would there be any problem with this? Just an idea.

The problem is 2 months in, they'll be caked with debris.
