If you used aquarium silicone to hold it to the bottom of the tank, yeah, you could. Without anything to hold it down (like stones or silicone), it would just float to the surface.

EDIT: Gravel has nothing to do with the health of your fish... they don't eat gravel... If you are referring to the beneficial bacteria bed found in the gravel, the same thing will form on this aquatic AstroTurf... As long as you use aquarium silicone (the same stuff used to hold the glass together, it is not, in any way, harmful to the fish.

I don't think so, sorry.
Stones are used to weigh it down and keep it from floating.
You could probably get away with just having four medium-sized stones, one in each corner, and hiding them with plants if you want.
I'm sorry to say I've never used those before; both of my tanks have stones covering the bottom. Try asking someone at a pet store for advice or another experienced fish-owner. :)

AQUARIUM silicone isnt harmful to fish. Just remeber once you do, if your gonna take it off, your gonna have a hard time. Good luck! Answer to your question is - yes

That´s a good idea, but think about the health of your fish.
