You want 2-3 inches of depth from a substrate for good root growth. I am not sure how many inches you have from the post. The Flourite substrates can al be mixed with other substrates.

If you have deep rooted plants like Cryptocoryne and Echinodorus then a little more substrate is fine.
A little more than 3 inches is usually okay. You can definitely vary the substrate depth in the tank for the types of plants you have.
