Ishaan, dear sorry for what? :) No need to say that :)

No need to cover ada with gravels :)
But you are dealing with ada I havent used the latest version but would like to point out some things from ada amazonia 2 that it releases good amount of ammonia when dumped first so,
At least for 15 days if you can then do a 80% water change in every 2 days. I follow this thing for my shrimp tanks.

But on a personal side , I dont like this soil anymore coz the tannin water it makes and also the marks it puts on the glass!!!
I agree with you abhishek but new aquasoil don't release that much of tannins.

i guess its the best so far. it has the best of both amazonia and amazonia 2. only problem is initial ammonia spike. my shrims are going great with it and showing excellent coloration.
