Hydroton as a substrate?

Word on the forum is that Hydroton is a great media, but has anyone used it as a substrate?

I picked some up in Asia a couple years ago. Starting my 20 gallon and thinking about turning it into a heavily planted high tech setup. I have some older ADA amazonia that is starting to break down a bit, so thinking of layering the hydroton over it it keep it down. The spheres are 3 mm in diameter.

I will be using my hydroton supply for my own aquaponics system this spring. It's also very light and floats, so not suitable for a planted tank. If yours sinks then it may work.
