Default topping off a carboy with beads...

I found glass marbles to be the best, but then I got concerned over
metals- and I dont know if they used lead in them or not.

So I'm still uncertain what to use... PET is out.... I think I'm on
steel ballbearings now. But steel is very expensive....

I ended up buying some smaller 1 gallon containers and just calling it
a day.
