Lava Rocks On Planted Tank

[G_Sharky]

hello people,
I was just wonderin if anybody here ever use lava rocks for their planted tank??? I have a bunch of them on my cichlid tank and was wonderin if this would work in a planted tank, I know that lava rocks could cause the ph to go up, but i'm thinking of putting maybe 2-3 pieces of rock on a 20 gallon...what do you guys think

I have two in my 20g planted that I've had since I started keeping fish and they have worked great. The PH is around 7-7.2 consistently. They also look really nice in high let set off against the greens of the plants.
