you could do lava rock or plastic scrubbies for bio media instead.
the lava has more surface area and the scrubbies are cheap and disposable if they get too gunked up.

Lava rocks don't have very good surface area. Nylon scrubbies are about the best bang for your buck. If you have the money, get cell-pore.
so basically anythin with surface area for bacteria to grow on? so why is all the eheim bio media so expensive?
Are you wanting mechanical or more bio-filtering?

You got it backwards...scrubbies have more suface area and are washable, lava rock doesn't and can't be (reasonably).
