I understand if you're doing ok you can't imagine you're doing anything
wrong and if you're happy with yout plant growth, great. But the idea

He may have some unusual conditions in his pond. I can't even get water
lilies to grow and bloom in a fine gravel. I have to use soil and
fertilizer spikes if I want nice large leaves and lots of blooms. Other
pond plants do well enough in fine gravel alone.
