I know this group and virtually every serious koi ponder says-NO rocks
in pond. For cleaning this is great, but there is a substantial faction
that says rocks and gravel are good and house good bacteria to help
clean up the bad stuff. Almost all in-house aquaria have lots of gravel.

What's the real skinny?
