sure soulds like it would be fine. Just remember to make the space between the bottom of the buckets and the rez is dark. Roots don't like light.

Grow rocks would be great for you or just normal lava rock.

Normal red lava rock. I could be wrong here but I think pumice rock is fine too. There was a time when it was thought it had some acid in it but I don't that's the case anymore. I think they proved it was fine for garden use. I could be wrong so you may want to check it our your self.

The Red lava rock is fine though.
