Post Ballast for B717

Need some ideas for suitable ballast for B717.
Empty aircraft usually needs 1000kg for crew training/ferry.
Have read the IATA recommendations but need "nigel" help to come up with a good product.
Around 25kg packs or some other system.
Anyone used water bladders???
Problem comes when ballast is needed to be moved back to base - has to travel subload due to weight.
Storage and tracking also a problem.
All suggestions appreciated.
