Aliflor is a brand name for the same thing as LECA it appears although I had not heard of the LECA.
When I lived and worked in Florida we grew orchids in Aliflor, it was the medium of choice. I experimented with growing Brazilian Rain Trees and Mahogany trees in it.
Within 3 months time the roots had increased tremendously on both types trees.
In south Florida I was watering everyday with this product as it creates larger air spaces btween the particles. It is available in several sizes, I used the 1/2 dia which is what we sold at the store/nursery I worked at.

I thought it was great, I had forgotten about it until seeing this thread.
