Just to be clear, I've tried virtually everywhere. Nurseries, HD, Lowe's, Walmart, pet shops, aquarium shops. I'll be pushing on to Target and Ace soon but I've looked online and have little confidence.
No pumice. haven't seen it anywhere. All lava rock is oversized. Believe me, I'll continue to look though.
Thanks for the opinion on perlite. I can find that everywhere for about 5$ in an 8qt bag. I've just felt very hesitant because I can tell it's so fine. (I hope it can be understood how a newbie would look at lava rock, then perlite and have trouble seeing a similarity in functionality) I'll consider using it even if I do acquire the lava rock I want and I'll have to consider it moreso if I can't.
Thanks for the bark tip and I will rule pea gravel out from here on. Assuming I have no other options I'll go with perlite I guess.
