maybe some crushed ceramic pots?
No expereince with this but I have been asking the same question. Fluval sells those hexagoanl pieces with hollow centers. I think those are ceramic.
I am eager to see what else people suggest.

There's a lot of cheap bio material out there, but I've used dish washing scrubbers. They're the net-like plastic material that's rolled up into a scouring pad.
becareful about the scrubbing pads. Some/most of them are treated with antibacterial stuff that isn't safe of fish.
I drilled large holes in a large dia pipe was left with a gallon of compresed pvc ribbon I,ve cut 1/2" PVC into wafers.Stole my kids bristle block set he never liked anyway.Used a bag of lava rock for the last 5 yrs love to attach plants to the rocks (in the tank)
For your tanks filters fill them with your diced straws.Also consider useing filter floss in those instead.
