I was just wondering that same question while I was "Watching the grass grow" ~ why not use glass! Or a Ceramic coffe mug? I'm sure you can come up w/something other than lead!
using LEAD fishing weights to secure bubblers
Roseman, or any others who have the bubbleponics or dwc system and use fishing weights-
i have read that you use fishing weights to secure down the bubbler and air stones in your res. i need to secure mine as well but i just wanted to make sure i dont need to worry about putting lead fish weights in my res....the lead wont harm anything, or harm ph levels?
thks

Lead is a very soft metal that is also quite toxic to humans, i don't think that letting it erode in a bubbler will be that great for your plants.
Silicone,suction cups, etc...
One sec...I am trying to think of something clever...
Got CFL? http://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/71259-cfl-sog.html
because of lead-poisoning concerns, fishing weights made out of substances other than lead (iron, copper, tin, tungsten, etc..) are easily available. the packaging will say something like "lead-free" on it.
Or brass fittings/bolts from the local hardware store. Lots of creative ways.

also picure yourself smoking a plant that has traces of lead in it, cant be safe.

go to lowes or home depot and get some heavy staniless steel nuts since ss doesn't rust,clean metal
I just soke the stones over night and they stay all 4 of them in my veg bubbler and the main box bubbler
