Well, I did it. I had half a bag of pea gravel leftover from when I potted up some pond plants so I went ahead and added that to the bottom in a single layer. There is no way that it can get into the filter, the box is enclosed with just narrow slats on the lid. It looks really good and you are right Mary, it looks more natural. I will be getting another bag to use on the upper ledges. I had a small amount of the smooth stones you are talking about and I had put those in too. I will just mix them together.
Katy, I thought the same thing about stability because my pots rocked a bit. They don't anymore.
